Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an exceptionally rare excellent totally genuine BATF approved inert Yugoslavian WWII Model 1935 Defensive hand Grenade.

During the 1930's Yugoslavia developed two successive models of grenades, producing a Defensive and Offensive pattern each time. This is the first, the Model 1935. The Defensive fragmentation type was made of cast iron with an externally grooved body ( a pattern that resembled the American M1 Pineapple Grenade) . Model 1935 grenades have a distinctive fuse with a knurled safety cap with an external friction locking feature. During its development, the fuse body construction was changed from brass to aluminum and the locking feature simplified from a crimped steel leaf spring to a brazed brass wire. This example is the earliest style fuse constructed of brass and dated 1938. Overall an exceptionally rare example offered in excellent condition. Measures approximately 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide, heavy at close to 2 pounds.
