Drbill, What does the bottom look like?.....It will either have a smooth bottom, threaded with or w/o plug, or a drilled hole.....The first two are the more desirable....

Also, does it look like the green is painted over the yellow, or just a yellow stripe?.....The former would be earlier.....Bodes

btw.....Yes, it's an original WW2 US pineapple grenade....

smooth solid bottom and yes painted over yellow, probably later war and thanks for your help Bodes
