WW2 Italian Grenade Red Devil INERT

The WW2 Italian Grenade Red Devil INERT is an original World War II-era fragmentation hand grenade, commonly referred to by collectors as the “Red Devil” due to its distinct red-painted metal body. Manufactured for use by Italian military forces during the Second World War, this grenade is notable for its unique cylindrical design and prominent horizontal ribbing, which provided improved grip for soldiers in combat conditions. The featured example is rendered completely inert, having been safely deactivated with all explosive components removed in accordance with legal regulations. Measuring approximately 10 cm in length, the grenade maintains its original surface detail and paint, though minor wear consistent with age and use may be present. Items like this provide insight into the equipment and material culture of the Italian armed forces during WWII.
