Here are some photos of a recently acquired (Inert) US Shinkle Grenade. Although all Shinkle's appear to be the same vanilla flavor, I was glad to finally get an example.


Happy New Year and Stay Safe,

Hello,
Nice example.
Could you give diameter of this grenade ?
Regards

It is approximately 7 Centimeters / 1.750 Inches In Diameter. I have attached a photo with a French F1 to show a visual size comparison.

Stay safe,

Frank

Gosh

That looks like it was developed from the Belgian Roland. It has the look of the later Roland's.
