Help: Real or fake M67?

[natocollector]

Is this a real or fake M67? The fuse is solid (non-workin) but the build quality seems legit. Is this a throwing practice grenade?

Body feels like cast iron.
Fuse made of steel and lever/pin looks original.
No marking or text.

Here's a real one . Note the body is formed in two halves with a join around the centre . Your one looks as if it might be a film prop or similar .

Indeed, Sigfreid is correct.

2 halves with horizontal welded seem.
Also the inside of the grenade can give you a clue...The real one has a frag-pattern like in my picture.

It would be nice if you replied to people in your previous postings before putting up new threads. People try to help you and don't even get a nod of thanks.

Oh, yes. I see your points.
Guessing this is just a copy-item then.

When I now compare it to a M69, you can clearly see the difference in casting-quality and size-difference of the gren body.
