Mike,
Here, they can be harder to find than chickens with lips. Meaning that they are not only hard to find here, if you indeed found one, I would guess you'd pay a small fortune for one.
I myself have been looking for one for 30 years and have not found one until, with the help with a great friend here I finally got one.
But, by the way, that is definately a nice original M26 you have there.
Also, do they come with the fuzes?

The owner of these says he wants $400 ea. with no fuzes. He says he has 8 or 9 left. seems kinda high for me but Im a WWII frag guy..I could be wrong.

Hello Mike,
$400.00 seems high for just unmarked bodies (Just my.02). Correct Original M26'A1s bring the good money if they have the original fuze assemblies and nomenclature markings.
The proper M204A1 Fuze Assemblies (Notable Differences from M204A2 / M26A1 Series Fuzes) will be a bit difficult to locate to make these bodies close to correct. You may end up investing time and money to end up with a complete grenade, that may (or may not) sell for a profit at auction?
Stay safe,
Frank

m26 frag body
Just my 2 cents
Rare in deed
If it was complete with base cap, correct fuse, and markings $400- 600 would be about right.
Though I saw a complete cherry one go for $800.00 in a bidding war about 6-7 years ago
A blank body with no fuze, base cap or markings max I'd give would be $150-175
But thats just me.
If this guy has 7-8 of them which he no doubt got free from the line he'd still be making a over grand if he sold them all.
I have a complete mint one in the collection but even so I'd buy one
If the price was right

Yeah me too! I cant believe the difficulty in finding an M26, 57 or 61! Somebody please help me find one! I have a nice budget for it, just can't find one Grrrrr....Same thing for an M67 :/
Indeed the M26 is hard to find.
When you can find some, i'd love to hear
An M67 is already in my collection (transport canister is not from the same lot/date)
