Grenades of Interest.....I hope

[EODGUY]

Thought I would throw out a few more of my grenades that I haven't seen posted (but I may have missed them). The first picture is three North Korean grenades used by their special operations troops. They are cast aluminum bodies with large steel balls for fragments. The top grenade in the second photo of course is the East German AZ 58-K-100 antitank hand grenade. Below it is the XM78 US copy of it. We built a few of these for testing, but no formal program was ever undertaken. The last photo has a cutaway and complete Spanish Alhambra, a cutaway Italian SCRM Mod 35, the next one is one I do not know anything about. It is marked HGR-SPL/NP XM 305/DN. I have not found anything on it. The "XM" marking on a Dynamit Nobel grenade seems unusual to me. The last grenade is the German DM 51. I especially like the Alhambra. As most know it has an electronic soundless, smokeless and flashless fuze. I can warn you EOD types out there though, do not unscrew the fuze from the grenade because chances are the fuze will function.

Those Korean ones look nasty

Nice collection of modern frags.

Love the Alhambras design. They are so.. nasty.



Is that DM51 a factory example? Don't see markings on it?

I assume that it is an off-the-line factory item because there are no stencilled markings on it at all. Too bad because I normally like to get ones with good markings. Of course, I won't pass up a good item without markings.

The AZ 58-K-100 is actually a Hungarian grenade.
