INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a scarce WW2 Japanese Type 4 hand grenade, commonly known as the Ceramic Grenade that were made at the latter stages of WW2 (late 1944 onwards) by the Japanese due to a shortage of raw materials. The grenades were made from white terra cotta and are glazed with various colours including a very dark brown, tan, cream, white and a clear glaze. When these grenades detonated they fragmented into sharp chards of ceramic being just as effective as a normal cast iron hand grenade. This grenade has a dark chocolate brown coloured ceramic glaze to the body. There is no damage to the grenade or any cracks in the body. No licence is required to possess this inert grenade in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. Price includes UK delivery. O 2073
