E421. RARE INERT WWII 1942 50 CAL M13 PRACTICE ANTI TANK GRENADE. MEASURES 16 1/4″ TALL. DEVELOPED BEFORE THE BAZOOKA, THE M10 AND M13 ANTI TANK GRENADES WERE TOO HEAVY TO FIRE FROM RIFLES, SO TESTING WAS DONE WITH M2 .50 CAL MACHINE GUNS WHICH PROVED IMPRACTICAL. THE HEAD IS WHAT LATER CAME TO BE ON BAZOOKA ROUNDS. STENCILED “GRENADE, A.T. , PRACTICE, M13, LOT 53-23143 BMC 1-42”. THIS EXAMPLE WAS FIRED AS THE NOSE TIP IS BLUNTED. THE FINS ARE A LITTLE BENT AND THE ROUND SHOWS SCUFFS, SCRATCHES AND PAINT LOSS. VERY HARD TO FIND GRENADE. TOTALLY FILLED WITH AN INERT SUBSTANCE AND CAN NEVER BE USED AGAIN. SOLD AS A DISPLAY PIECE ONLY. GUARANTEED ORIGINAL. FREE SHIPPING IN THE U.S.A. ***NO SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL U.S. NO EXCEPTIONS.*** CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE. ***SOLD***
