I've had a couple of people moaning at me for my descriptions ! Let me make it clear , I'm just showing the pictures . I'm NOT an expert on Israeli grenades of this period & I'm making some effort to perhaps fill in a few knowledge gaps so bear with me . Thank you.
These ones are also described as EZEL made from the 1930's & the ones on the right are of bronze as it was easier to cast than iron.

Who would have thought that there would be such things as "Bronze Age" grenades.
 
I don't know grenades, but I'm pretty-well versed in Israeli history. I would like to know how these are identified as made by Etzel/Irgun, and not Haganah? They were two very different organizations, and not usually on speaking terms with each other.
 
Because someone who knows what he's talking about told me that's what they were . I personally have no idea whatsoever . Thank you.
