DEACTIVATED INERT. Near Mint. WW2 1940 Dated British No.69 Bakelite Hand Grenade By DLR (Thomas De La Rue London) With No 247 Mark 1 All-Ways Weighted Tape Fuse - 18210:29 DEACTIVATED INERT. This is a near mint British No 69 bakelite hand grenade. The British No 69 was a hand grenade developed and used during World War II. It was adopted into service due to the need for a grenade with smaller destructive radius than the No 36M Mills grenade. This allowed the thrower to use a grenade even when there was little in the way of defensive cover. In contrast, the much greater destructive radius of the Mills bomb than its throwing range forced users to choose their throwing point carefully, in order to ensure that they would not be wounded by their own grenade. The shell of the No 69 grenade is composed entirely of the hard plastic, Bakelite, which shattered without producing fragments like a metal bodied grenade. Metal fragmenting sleeves were available to increase the grenade's lethality. Using the No 69 bomb was very simple: the screw-off cap was removed and discarded, and the grenade was then thrown. When the grenade was thrown, a linen tape with a curved lead weight on the end automatically unwrapped in flight, freeing a ball-bearing inside the fuse. In this manner the all-ways fuse was armed in flight and the grenade exploded on impact and like the Gammon grenade, which used the same fuse design, it was withdrawn from service soon after the Second World War ended. This is an excellent original WW2, 1940 dated No.69 grenade. The grenade retains its original stencilled red crosses round the top and a dark green band round the lower half signifying an Amotol explosive filling. The grenade has the correct Bakelite body with screw off cap and all-ways weighted fuse cord. The base of the grenade is embossed No.69 I and D.L.R.-40 (No, 69 grenade mark 1, Thomas De La Rue London, 1940 date). Under the screw off top is the metal weighted fly of tape of the Bakelite No 247 mark 1 allways fuse. No licence is required to possess this grenade in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Price includes UK delivery. Sn. 18210:29 £375.00 |

Sn 18210:26 - 18210:26 **INERT**DEACTIVATED** The Nazi German BKHZ/K Tear Gas grenade was similar to the Blendkörper 2H non-lethal smoke grenade that was developed by Germany and used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. The BKHZ/K was roughly the size of a light bulb but made from thicker glass and was filled with Tri Chloride of Sulphur diluted with Lime which created non-lethal tear gas. Our inert deactivated example is original and un-damaged. The hollow glass ball has no chips or cracks and it has a screw top plastic lid. The price for this rare grenade includes UK delivery.

**RARE**INERT**DEACTIVATED** WW1 French Percutante P1 fragmentation Pear Or Spoon Hand Grenade. Sn 18210:26 - 18210:26 **INERT**DEACTIVATED** There were several projects during World War 1 (1914-1918) designed around the development of an impact-based hand grenade. Hand grenades grew in considerable value for world powers of the period, particularly since the war had bogged down into Trench Warfare before the end of 1914. The Germans found some success in the field with their "Turtle" grenade and the French attempted to respond in turn with the "Pear" - formally known as the "Grenade Percutante Nr.1", also known as the "P1". When the war opened, the French had to rely on several foreign grenade types so the P1 represented a shift to a home grown product. Construction of the new grenade involved an iron body, smooth on the outside and grooved on the inside for maximum fragmentation. A lead plug was inserted at the base with the igniter set over the top of the grenade. A metal "spoon" was set along the side of the grenade and formed part of the operation process. A thin wire acted as a safety device that had to be severed prior to operation and the spoon-shaped lever turned up. Once thrown and landed (hopefully on its base) a percussion pin moved against the detonator to complete the desired result. In theory, this left little to no time for the enemy to pick up and throw the grenade back in the direction of the attacker. The P1 grenade became available to French troops in May of 1915 and quickly became recognized by its shape as the "Pear" or "Spoon" grenade. Accidental detonations were common and landing the grenade vertically was not always possible - if impossible under the pressures of the battlefield. As such this grenade design was viewed largely as unreliable but still saw considerable production figures for lack of anything better. Our inert, deactivated, original example is in very good condition. The hollow iron pear shaped casing has even patina and correct lead base plug. It’s alloy spoon shaped lever assembly unscrews from the casing. The original lever is secured to the casing by later cord which replaces the original wire which would have been present and is most always missing. The price for this rare, WW1 French hand grenade includes UK delivery. Sn 18210:26 £245.00 |

DEACTIVATED INERT. Rare German First Type ‘Fused Stick Grenade Model 1916’ Stielhandgranats. (Stick Grenade) - 18210:13 DEACTIVATED INERT. This is a rare German 1916 Dated ‘Fused Stick Grenade model 1916’ ‘potato masher stick grenade’. This is the first variant of the German Stick grenade where the pull cord was held in by a waxed cardboard plug. This was later found to be difficult to use and arm so the now normal 8 pointed star screw cap was introduced. This rare grenade is illustrated in German Grenades Of The Great War by Patrice Delahomme. The steel body has a steel cap roll crimped onto its top. The explosive head is held to the wooden shaft by a steel collar which appears crimped and not screwed to the shaft. The steel belt hook is held to the body of the grenade by rivets. The bottom of the throwing shaft is reduced in diameter to take the waxed cardboard cap that would have held the porcelain ball and arming string. See German Grenades Of The Great War by Patrice Delahomme for an illustration and description. Price includes UK delivery. Sn 18210:13 £795.00 |
