Nice practice grenade. Never seen one here in the US. Great condition. I attached a copy of my M50BG. Not the best of shape in paintings and markings, but it fills a spot. Not sure how hard they are to find here in the US. I've had this one for many years.

My M50Bg has been stripped, and is marked LOT 1 ASM 70.
I've attatched some pictures of the three fuzes (that were used by the Belgian Army) on this grenade.

On the first picture it's the Gren Fuze M68A1 , on picture 2 the AWF M3Bg and on picture 3 the Gren Fuze M60Bg Drill.

The M68A1 looks like the (more modern)M72/M73 fuze, but has a diffrent spoon (longer and straight) and igniter.

Geert.
