This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/12/2019
Lot consists of: (A) This is an unknown grenade which has so far eluded all attempts to identify it. Looking typical of 1970’s-80’s construction, the pale blue plastic outer shell has been roughly removed on approximately one quarter section, exposing small fragmentation balls in a plastic matrix. On the bottom someone has hand written “Peru?” Several features of the grenade are reminiscent of Arges grenades; it may be a contract piece. (B) This is an unidentified grenade that is strongly believed to be of Austrian design, possibly an Arges experimental or undocumented practice for the Arges Model 58PL. It is constructed of translucent white plastic and has an inert fill of cement-like material. The grenade and fuze have no markings. It is in excellent condition with no corrosion or damage, the fuze is complete with a dummy detonator.
