Mk II and Mk IIA1
More commonly known as the Pineapple, the Mk II series (also written Mk 2) was the
most commonly used US fragmentation grenade of the Second World War.
The Mk II had a grooved exterior originally intended to aid fragmentation of the
grenade. However, later studies showed that this design has no effect on fragmentation
though it does provide a non-slip surface that improves grip.
The filling was either EC blank fire powder (approx. 0.75 oz or 21 g smokeless small
arms powder) or flaked TNT (approx. 2 oz or 57 g).
TNT became the common filler from 1942 onwards.[
The FUSE M10/A1/A2/A3 for the Mk II Series was a mouse trap type igniting fuze;
ignition ignites filler type..

An original like this is hard to find as there are many repros out there.

There is a RESERVE of $500 set on this item
