Re: Hand grenades...
Don't go there Savage unless you are a registered ammunition collector and have good comms with your local bomb squad guys.

Re: Hand grenades...
I picked one up in an open veld in Pta East as a kid. My dad nearly flipped his lid when I presented it to him, I’ll never forget the shock on his face when his brain tried to process what I’m holding. I’m not sure, today, whether it was maybe a practice grenade or what. It was one of my proudest possessions as a schoolboy.

Re: Hand grenades...
Practice grenades, as pictured in the first ad above, are fitted with a live fuse/detonator and can cause serious injury or even death. Do not let the missing "fly-off" lever make you assume it is safe; I know one guy who made that mistake and lost a hand. I'm not sure those are legal to own, even if it has detonated, but I may be wrong.
Out of curiosity: why do you want one?

Re: Hand grenades...
The local practise grenade does not look anything like the HE version (M26). The PRAC version uses the same detonator but it is fitted in a machined aluminium cylinder that is drilled full of holes. The holes serve to vent the explosion of the detonator. With a spent detonator, it would likely still be regarded the same as a deactivated HE version. Without it, it is just a aluminium cylinder with holes...
