Gildwiller1918 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Here is a Danish Model 23 Grenade. It was developed in Denmark and designated the Haandbombe Model 1923. Large amounts of these were captured by the Germans after 1940 and subsequently designated the Handgranate 342d" (Offensive) and Handgranate 343d" (Defensive). The Grenade was produced after WW2 until 1956 for use by Danish forces. This one here is a training grenade, which can be distinguished by the holes at the top by the fuse and in the center, another way to tell if it's a training device is the plug in the bottom has a hole and along the center band are indentations indicating a refill, this one has been refilled 7 times. Yellow painted specimens typically date between 1940 and 1945. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
