INERT Italian Excelsior-Thevenot hand grenade

"Discover the Italian Excelsior-Thévenot P2, an inert World War I hand grenade affectionately nicknamed the 'Ballerina' by Italian troops. Designed by Frenchman François Thévenot and adopted by the Italian Army in 1915, this defensive grenade earned its whimsical moniker from the fabric skirt that stabilized its flight, resembling a dancer’s twirl. Featuring a unique percussion fuse with a propeller and a shrapnel-filled warhead, the Ballerina is a rare piece of military history, now safely decommissioned and perfect for collectors or enthusiasts of Great War artifacts."
