US MK1 Hand Grenade

I have never before seen such a nice example. The bodies are not hard to find, but good condition fuses seem to be very rare.
 
M8, the few that I have seen generally are cracked at the piece that holds the rotating spoon that releases the cock strike or the threaded part of the fuse is snapped off. The fuse seems to be made of a softer metal and does not stand up to rough handling.
