Inert Replica WWII MkII Fragmentation (Pineapple) Grenade with M10 Series Fuse

Inert Replica WWII MkII Fragmentation (Pineapple) Grenade with M10 Series Fuse

Simply the most visually and functionally authentic inert replica on the market. Made in the USA by Vintage Ordnance Co.  Perfect for exhibit, demonstration or theatrical use.  Replica United States WWII issue MkII fragmentation (Pineapple) Grenade with correct and mechanically functional M10A2 style metal fuse, spring, striker, spoon and pin.  When you pull the pin and throw the grenade, the spring driven striker flips off the stamped steel lever just like the original.  The zinc fuse body also unscrews from the grenade body like the original.  

The mold for the grenade body was made from an original WWII grenade.  The body of the grenade is cast in an extremely  durable, non-chipping, dark grey plastic.  You can drop it down a flight of concrete steps and the worst you'll do is scratch the paint.

We chose this particular plastic for its strength, light weight and ease of casting.   These replicas are light enough at 3.5 ounces to hang off mannequins and they won't bang up and scratch your military vehicles during displays, trail rides or reenactments.  If a realistic weight is required. the grenade body can be easily hollowed to add lead shot.

Original WWII MkII Hand Grenade

Chinese Made Grenade

Keep in mind that this is the most authentic replica on the market.  Virtually all "WWII MkII Pineapple Grenades" advertised are terribly inaccurate Chinese made iron castings threaded to accept a modern surplus grenade fuse.  (fig. 1)  Don't be fooled.  Not only is the geometry of the grenade body wrong, the current issue fuse and spoon looks nothing like the M10 series of fuses from WWII.  Compare the bogus  WWII" MkII grenade (fig. 1) with the photos of the genuine (fig. 2-8).  Then compare the original to our resin replica.  You may also notice that the original doesn't stand up straight while ours does.  That's because no two MkII grenades are exactly the same.  Fortunately, our master mold was made from a fairly level bottomed grenade that will stand on its bottom.

Model 1908 Bayard Pocket Pistol

The smallest and most powerful pocket automatic for many years after its introduction in 1908, the Bayard was far ahead of its time in design. In an era of .25 and .32 ACP autoloaders, it was chambered in the much more powerful and effective .380 ACP. Despite its small size (only 4-7/8" long) it packed a big punch. It was also much easier to shoot than virtually all of its peers because of some unique design features. The barrel was positioned directly above the trigger finger with the recoil spring on top coupled with a patented spring buffer. The result was a dramatic reduction in felt recoil allowing the pistol to be fired accurately in rapid fire. 

 
It was an expensive handgun, but without peer for highly concealable personal protection and remained highly desirable for that purpose long after manufacture ceased. 

Great for any pre-WWII, Roaring 20s or Steampunk costume impression. This reproduction from Vintage Ordnance Co. is cast from an original century old example in urethane plastic with separate grips. The bright finish is painted on. Model 1908 Bayard Pocket Pistol Museum Resin Replica Scale 1:1
