M18 Smoke Grenade Vietnam War Dummy Replica
The M18 Smoke Grenade grew to be a battlefield icon as early as WWII. However, it gained notoriety during the Vietnam war, as it was widely used for concealment and primarily signaling.
I have faithfully reproduced these custom versions of Smoke Grenade replicas in all four primary colors: Red, Yellow, Green, and Violet.
These are aluminum shells and filled with pellets to nearly a perfect realistic weight. They are stamped by hand, clear coated, and again painted by hand and worn to reach its weathered state. I am incredibly proud of these, but there are things YOU need to know:
- These are all individually hand-made so they are unique from piece to piece. There are only 10 in thish first batch!
- They are all worn slightly differently. You will find some have dents, scratches, scrapes, excessive mud / rust staining, or very little of any of it. All intentional.
- The filling in the inside was compacted and made to be as silent as possible. However, during shipment and/or use, some beads may shift and a slight rattling sound may be heard. I did my best to mitigate this, but you have been warned.
- These are DUMMIES. These do not function and cannot be made to function in any way.
I also have ONE AN-M14 Incen in a pinkish color. When you grab it, it's GONE!
This is the first batch I am putting on the site. These are incredibly labor intensive and expensive to produce, so it will be some time before I do a second run.
Traditions Rebuilt.
