Original U.S. WWII Twenty Five AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade Husks in Original Crate - Packed January 1943

Original Item. Only One Available. The AN/M14 incendiary grenade or M14 incendiary grenade is an extremely high-temperature incendiary grenade developed by the United States. It uses the same fuze as the AN/M8 smoke grenade, and originally used the same sheet metal body too, while newer-production grenades seem to have switched to using the body of the M83 smoke grenade instead. Its filler is 26.5 ounces (751 grams) of TH3, a mixture of iron thermate, barium nitrate, sulfur and a binding chemical. This mixture burns at 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,200 degrees Celsius) for 35-40 seconds, long enough to burn through a half-inch thick steel plate, and produces its own oxygen, meaning it can even burn underwater.

This is a great original crate filled with twenty five original WWII husks for the AN/M14 incendiary grenade. Each husk is marked on the top:

GRENADE, HAND
AN-M-14-TH
INCENDIARY
CONTAINER, M42A1

And each husk has the original label with the purple stripe denoting incendiary, with a pack date of January 1943. Each husk measures 6¼” tall with a 3” diameter. The crate is painted blue and measures 18¼ x 16½ x 7½”.  There are stenciled markings on the side but they are obfuscated by the paint. There is some material loss to the crate as shown.

A great crate full of original husks. There are no grenades, just the husks. Ready for further research and display.
