Miniature MkII lookalike grenade

[ewag2]

Hello, Here is a grenade that looks like a miniature US MkII. I put it next to a MkII in two of the pictures for comparison.

Does anyone here know what it is? I have not been able to positively ID it, but I saw a picture once of a South Korean A3 grenade that had a body that looked the same, but it had a different fuze. Unfortunately I don't have that pic to share here. (I saw that picture on Ordata, which doesn't seem to be online these days.) The grenade in the picture I saw had a cylindrical fuze with no lever. This grenade has an American fuze, but if it is a South Korean grenade, perhaps US fuzes were supplied to them? I'm wondering if this is a correct modification from the one I saw pictured.

A yellow band is painted over the green, but is partially rubbed off on this example. The only marking I can find on the body is a faint five-point star on the base. In the picture where I'm holding it, you can just barely see it.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Thanks for pointing this out. I had forgotten that the one I had seen with the different fuze could be seen here. The pics on the bottom of the page of the one with the US fuze were sent to him by me.
