C103562 DANISH M1923 PRACTICE HAND GRENADE. Developed by the Danish and produced in Denmark, it was referred to as the "Haandbombe Model 1923." After German occupation, in April 1940, ordnance plants continued production using "Handgranate 342d" (offensive) and "Handgranate 343d" (defensive). The Danish continued production well after the end of the war; as late as 1956. The practice grenade is composed of thick steel to simulate the live weight and to make it sturdier for repeated use. A practice grenade can be identified by the small hole drilled into the body on the top cone. The end cap has a exhaust hole for the practice charge which would be inserted. The same space holds the detonator in a service grenade. After use, the grenade had to be returned to the factory for a new fuze. Each time it has entered the re-load cycle a dot is punched into the metal below the safety interrupter. This one has been re-loaded eight times. The entire grenade measures approximately 13cm high with a 18cm diameter through the middle. It is stamped with a red twelve pointed star with a "K" to the middle and with "AK/B 1942" along the side. The surface paint has chipped but 90% of the original paint remains. A very nice example.

Please note, due to Postal Regulations. De-activated firearms and Inert Ordnance may not be shipped outside of Canada.
