Polish RG-42  Grenade


Recommended Posts

An inert Polish RG-42  Grenade.  Photo source is libertytreecollectors.  An interesting grenade I have never seen in the U.S. at shows. An odd shaped creature!
 
Designed in Russia during WW2 and adopted by Eastern Bloc countries in the post war years. This is the Polish version that saw use by them until 1990.

Hello USMC, definitely an interesting design, as I am primarily a  WW1 grenade collector, I understand the frustration as to the lack of availability of non-US grenades.
