Hello,
What country for this French strim practice grenade ? Brazil, Portugal..?
Exercicio sounds portuguese language.
What is the maker "FN" ?

Thanks,
Bellifortis, yes I thought to Belgian FN too but no sense in this case.
Sgdbdr, in Argentina markings should be "EJERCICIO" (spanish language).

Hum, when I try to translate EXERCICIO with google translate and if I do it with Detect the language, I obtain a response that Exercicio is Galician language (an autonomous community with historic nation status of Spain)

It's possible that FN is Belgian. If you look in Wiki (strip 65), you'll find the foreign users of it.

the grenade was sold on a south african website (user of 65 strim).

So looking through what I have the code puts this as Belgium in origin. Does anyone else have FN for another country? The only other FN I have is German, and this isn't German.
