Here are a selection of Belgian Grenades from the 1950's and 60's. From my collection and all inert of course. Descriptions to follow when I can find the book I've misplaced. Tony.

Even in Belgium some of these are hard to find. Never seen the second one before. Great collection. :)
 
Great collection of Belgian nades Roller63. Arent the second one a naval echo nade with a fuze and spoon? Correct me if Im wrong.
Thanks for showing us anyway.

Cheers
 
The second item from the right
is indeed a British made Naval sweep grenade type AX Mk3, supplied to the Belgians and fitted with an adapter to take the Belgian grenade fuse. Designated M67A1, It was then used as an offensive grenade only for operations, being considered too powerfull form training.
Source is an addition to a Belgian grenade manual dated 1963 and very kindly translated for me by Ammodillo. Tony.

roller63,

Very nice display of the Belgium grenades. I too am waiting impatiently for the other photos and descriptions. Any ETA?
 
Interest noted, will try and find the said items again and re post with some details. All collection packed away at present. Tony.
