Dimensions and picture M1 Frangible Grenade

[Antoon]

Hello,

I am looking for a good picture from the US Frangible Grenade M1 and the dimensions of the bottle.


Greetings - Antoon

As they are improvised grenades, any glass bottle would do the trick. On some references, they mention a 'pint' glass bottle.


For the image you provided, I have 69.8mm diameter, 190.5mm height

Cheers,

S.

Manuals talk about pinta-sized. I don`t know correct dimensions, but should be something standard.
In the same time in different WW2 videos and photos from training we can see different variants, because sometimes incendiary bottles were improvised.
I made in AutoCAD good picture, what bases on picture that you added.

height 7.5 in.
Diameter 2.75 in.

To the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for all the information.

Received also enclosed picture. The diameter of the bottle is about 65 mm. So comparing with a complete bottle, the hight wil be 182 mm
