Vietnam War enemy grenade

Tim,
I saw that one too and would really like to add it to the collection but the price is already zooming out of sight. I agree that it is certainly a VC piece. The striker-release fuze is very typical of VC production. The body is a bit more unusual but I've seen some very similar. The variety of Viet Cong grenade body types is almost endless as they were produced in jungle workshops and by individual grenade "smiths" limited by their own imagination.
