although for security reasons the men did not know where they were going until they were well out to sea

Original Imperial Japanese WWII Type 97 Inert Fragmentation Hand Grenade with Showa Dated Fuse Bira Gun Nothing resembled the aerial photographsOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is an very nice inert demilitarized genuine Japanese Type 97 Hand Grenade. This example is offered in excellent condition, complete with the fuse still attached to the screw off top, which is frozen and cannot be easily. The cap and pin are still present, along with the original pull string. Also, it still has the brass delay tube with Japanese markings attached to the fuse, something that is very rarely seen.
