Seeking a fuze for late Mk II grenade...

I am trying to locate a fuze for a late (korean War vintage) Mk II fragmentation grenade. I believe the correct one would be an M204 series fuze. It can be either original or repro, but original is preferred. I am also seeking a safety lever for it, but have one that will do if I cannot find one.

Can anyone recommend a possible source or two for these? It seems they have gotten hard to find lately.

Thanks to all.
 
Oh boy !! If you call up Hayes be ready for a long one way conversation on the status of collecting militaria. Last time I talked to him he went on for 40 minutes. What a hoot, I really like him alot though. Hayes has alot of hard to find items. Nice old timer.
 
I ordered a practice grenade that he showed as his item 0229 with the bouchon I wanted, and it had a smoke grenade spoon on it (which I could also use) and he send me one of those godawful cast repro bodied things with OD paint washed over it, with an M69 fuze and spoon. It went right back the same day. I shall not be dealing with him again. Thanks for the input though, but I don't trust that guy.

It appears that I may be out of luck here.

On Hayes site his orig RFX practice M21's with 50's dated (not MKII's) M205A2 fuze is stock#000389. The body has been repainted OD but will strip back to practice blue. The one pictured is one of them. He has WWII MKII's yhat are not practice. Don't think he has HE frag stuff from Korean vintage..............Dano
