Pile of Grenades

It seems the military surplus market will suffer the ongoing curse of ex-Eastern Bloc grenades until the end of time.
 
The construction of this model is nearly a 100 years old. It was manufactured in many eastern european countries by the millions. But, there are so many more modern handgrenades on the market, that have a much higher kill-ratio than this old model. i expect, that it is very difficult to find customers anywhere in the world. These bodies seem to have been laying around for quite some time, so its not worth the time and work to clean and fill them. Collectors, for shure, might be interested, but , depending on where this heap is situated, mailing these might be near to impossible.
 
One would think the scrap dealers would have snapped these up and melted them down. After very strict inspection for a live one!
