Product Details

Reproduction of the MKIIIA1 offensive grenade.

HISTORY :

This rare grenade was produced during WWII. It was composed of a laminated cardboard body and stamped sheet metal on top and bottom. The troops found this grenade worked very well for destroying enemy equipment.

BODY & FUSE :

The body our MKIII A1 is made of black cardboard (just like the real ones), with resin top and bottom (non removable).

Body is empty.

Fuse is made of cold cast metal, and can NOT be unscrewed from the body for durability purpose. Also, we consider it is not necessary to unscrew fuse from body for reenactment purposes. Solidity first!

Markings are printed on a yellow paper label that includes the type, model, lot #, & date of manufacturing.

SPOON :

Correct spoons are maybe the most complicated part of the grenade to find or make (for a fair price). We have invested in some heavy machinery, and are now able to make them with correct WW2 specs :

long handle with mechanically stamped long ‘Y’ stiffener
cups over the top of the fuse head
metal grey colored, or OD (optional)

RING & PIN :

Surprisingly, reproduction rings with correct WW2 specs are very hard to find. So here again, we make our own rings. And they look just perfect!

OVERALL WEIGHT :

Our repro MKIII A1 weights around 150g.

ATTENTION :

⚠️ This product is made on demand. Allow 10-15 business days before shipment. For large orders (over 5 items), please allow additional time. There may be additional production delays during sales period, due to high volume of orders. Do not hesitate to contact us to know when your order will be shipped.

⚠️ To ensure durability of the product, do not pull the pin and remove the spoon. This reproduction is made to be used as a simple display element on your gear or in your collection, not as a functional or training device that you can "arm" and/or throw.

⚠️ "Cold-casting" is not "die-casting". Cold-Casting is a process of mixing metal powder with resin to create castings that give the appearance and weight of solid metal.

⚠️ Please be aware that the spoon, safety pin and ring are not made to be used on real grenades, and do not meet any real weapon safety criteria. These are reproductions for dummy props.

About Us

François G.

ww2gear founder

I am François, founder and manager of ww2gear.

As far as I can remember, I have always been a WW2 history buff.

The ww2gear adventure started back in 2017 with the creation of the @ww2gear Instagram page. Since then, I have developed increasing interest for WW2 reenactment.

One thing led to another, and I quickly joined a U.S. Army reenactment group in Belgium : The BRO.

Simultaneously, I started creating repro gear for myself and a few friends, in line with the concrete needs of WW2 collectors and reenactors. It quickly became a serious business, which led to a full time job in 2021.

Most products available on this webshop are handcrafted by myself or artisans, which explains our limited assortment strategy.

I am a passionate person, working to enhance your passion.
