Here is a Good One. What is it? WW2 Impact Grenade or Special Service???

[Wheels]

Here it is... I was told that it is a WW2 Impact Grenade, but I've never seen any grenade like this type. I don't disagree that it is some kind of Grenade, but where is it from and who was suppose to use it? And YES, this is not a reproduction type - it's the real thing. Here are some spec. It weighs 15 ounces, 2 3/4 inch Sphere (ball), and it has an original Lt. Blue paint finish, also it is made from a cast white metal. Surrounding the grenade are tiny pin-rods; those are so when the grenade explodes it breaks up in small metal fragments.

Thanks for all your help.

LOL! If it was mine, I would put it in my sock drawer along with my other goodies and not have a second though about it.

If your a Scary Cat call the DOD and loose it.

Being a Military Brat and spending 11 years in the USAF, I guess I'm use to that stuff.

Sorry, that the way it is.

Having .50 cal brass rained down on my house in Turkey may have had something to do with it. , Eaaaaa?
