Original Belgian Cold War Era Inert RFL-60 Rifle Grenade - Dated 1962

Original Item. Only One Available. This is the Belgium 60mm HE-RFL-60N, a High-Explosive-Fragmentation (HE-Frag), setback-armed, Impact (IMP) or Graze (GRZ) sensitive Impact-Inertia-Fired (IIF), fin-stabilised, rifle-grenade. The rifle-grenade can be individually launched from a rifle or launched in groups from a five-spigot launcher. The rifle-grenade has a Lethal-Radius (LR) of 8m (26ft), however, fragments remain effective up to 5m (164ft). Like all deactivated ordnance, this grenade is Not Available for Export.

This is a great example, the first we’ve had, and appears complete with the scarce shipping cap still on top. The body of the grenade is stamped W/FUZE 13327 on one side and on the other:

HE-RFL-60
N
1-MPA-70

The grenade unscrews from the shaft and the fuze unscrews from the top of the grenade. The underside of the fuze has several markings including 1-62 which denotes a date of January 1962. The top of the shipping cap is also marked with a date, 2-59 for February 1959.

A great example of a very rare grenade, ready for further research and display.
