Officially called Italian Bomba a Mano Mod. 35, these were a series of high explosive hand grenades used by the Italian Army during World War II. There were three main variation which were apparently developed more or less simultaneously and all have same numerical designation; Mod.35. They are offensive types of thin sheet metal construction (mostly aluminum) with All-ways impact fuzes. Painted a vivid red and having a notorious reputation of being dangerous when found in an unexploded condition they were nicknamed "Red Devils" by the British during the 1941-42 desert campaigns. The SCRM version was definitely the most advanced of the various models, and this version continued to be used up into the 1970s.
This example is simply wonderful, with much of the original paint present, and denting. It has the original spoon, the original rubber pull tab, small safety chain, and makes a simply lovely display piece. The bottom unscrews, allowing the internal structure to be viewed and inspected. This example has just about all of the various internal components, without explosives of course. There are however no maker markings that we can find.
These grenades are commonly identified by the manufacturer's company markings stamped on the grenade. This one is unmarked. It remained virtually unchanged throughout its decades-long service.
Comes ready for display.
