Hi guys, newbie question. Can someone let me know if American Radiator Co. manufactured the MkII grenade? If so, would they have marked the body "A R". Thanks.
American Radiator Co. Buffalo, New York was defiantly involved in US Mark II Production from the beginning (1918) and I believe that A.R. was one of their markings.

I have (2) AR examples that are marked the same way, both are gray colored bodies with filling plugs in the base and I am guessing they were manufactured circa 1920's - mid 30's. I also have an unfinished AR Marked Body with holes and no threads in the fuze or filling plug area(s).

My grenade is identical to the one you describe:unfinished gray body with holes but no threads! Do you think it was a dummy/practice grenade? I will post pix when I'm done cleaning it up.
