Description
An original, inert US Vietnam War M67 "Baseball" grenade is a deactivated, collectible version of the common spherical fragmentation grenade, recognizable by its smooth, baseball-like shape, often featuring original paint/markings from the era (late 60s/early 70s)
- Shape & Nickname: Spherical (smooth) body, earning the "Baseball" nickname, replacing older pineapple/lemon-style grenades.
- Era: Introduced in the late 1950s but widely issued and used in Vietnam from the late 1960s onward.
- Inert Status: The explosive is gone; it's filled with inert material (like plaster or just hollowed) and uses a practice fuse (M213).
- Components: Includes the classic spoon, ring, and pin, often with original stenciling or paint (yellow, green).
- Authenticity: Genuine Vietnam-era examples might have dates (e.g., 1972, 1973) on the fuse or body, sometimes with original transit containers.
