Other than the British Imperial War Museum I have never seen on of these Turkish grenades. Than low and behold someone on a gun forum posts one from a friends collection.

If you’re going to buy one, check the casting out closely. There were a lot of reproduction ones sold in the UK 10 years or so back. Cheers

The brass fittings were also reproduced by 'Dug Up' (Now 'The Military Man' in Worthing) a couple of years ago.
