INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare, original WW1, British ‘Grenade, .303 inch rifle No.20, Mk I’. The grenade is of the Hales pattern and is an adaption of the number 3 rifle grenade with the omission of the arming wind vane safety device and filled with a different explosive. The grenade has a heavily segmented cast iron body with brass nose and tail fittings including the nose fuze. The grenade is fitted with a 10 inch steel rod to fit in the barrel of a .303 rifle and still retains the original safety split pin, pull ring and string chord. See pages 63-68 in ‘GRENADE’ British & Commonwealth Hand & Rifle Grenades by Rick Landers. The grenade is in superb condition and no licence is required to possess this inert grenade in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 21610
