Original Austrian Type HG69 Plastic Fragmentation Hand Grenade by ARGES

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert and demilitarized according to BATF guidelines with hollow body and inert fuse. This grenade cannot be converted to an explosive devise and is not available for export.

During the second half of the 20th century, the company ARGES of Austria led the world in new and innovative designs for plastic bodied hand grenades. This example is the HandGranate Type 69 (HdGr69) Defensive fragmentation hand grenade. The body is plastic, and as a "defensive" hand grenade, the inside is filled with tiny metal pellets embedded in the plastic fragmentation layer inside. It was designed for a large spread of shrapnel, inflicting heavy damage on the opposing side. The Type HG69 was later superseded by the HG78 and HG84.

The grenade is in excellent condition, with the yellow fuze and green ribbed body in like-new condition. Comes complete with the pull ring, and paint stamping on the top. A great opportunity to pick up a very hard to find grenade!
