Real No. 3 Mk 1 Grenade????

Well, I have a No. 3 Mk 1 grenade which I had thought it was just a replica, but in another thread I was told info which kind of points to being the real deal. So i was hoping someone could help me out and verify if it is real or not. Pictures are here.

That looks like a replica cast grenade I'm afraid.

but a nice piece nevertheless..

were there some replicas that screw together like this one does?

I am not sure how many people have replicated the grenade. Anyone have like a timeline or something lol

Its the bronze cast. I have one myself.
That's the only one that has the correct curved transition at the bottom of the neck. While it is lacking accuracy in some areas due to shrinkage and grenade variations I like it better than most replicas.

Yeah, that's a bad replica. I will help ease your shame by accepting it from you, so that it doesn't further tarnish your collection...
:rolleyes

Have one as well. I believe done by an RPfer in late 90's? Excellent reproduction. I can understand how it could be mistaken for an original.

They are called "No. 3 Mk 1", FWIW.

I am selling it along with the other parts of the saber if you would like it. I am not sure what it is worth any ideas?

Yeah, both the cast "Star Wars Grenade" and Parks grenade screw together correctly.The only one that doesnt that I've personally seen is Romans.
I had one too...my first metal grenade.
