Not the best

Gosh folks, I have been looking for a source of WWII, Mark II Pineapple Grenade bodies to create Replica Mark IIs to sell to collectors. Of the 5 MKIIs I bought last month, the two I got from you nice folks were really terrible looking, badly cast, with awful alignment of the two cast halves, with a lot of voids in the surfaces of both of them. They were SO rough that the cast-in "RFX" markings denoting their production in the Rockford, Illinois foundry were barely visible In comparison, the 3 MKII bodies I bought elsewhere, were smooth, in very nice condition with the "RFX" markings plain and clean. Those three are already cleaned and painted, ready to have accurate replica Safety Spoons applied to them, prior to their being packed in WWII black cardboard and metal Grenade shipping containers. Nothing personal, but I've already spent two hours grinding imperfections away, in an effort to make your grenades presentable enough for me to sell. Looking at photos online, I can see that badly made Mark IIs are everywhere. That isn't your fault.

Grenade Icebreaker

I received this pineapple grenade last week. I have it sitting on the front of my office desk next to my .50 caliber round bottle opener and so far I have already had five people sit down just to put it in their hand. This is a great conversation piece in the idea that people get to hold something that they would otherwise only see in movies or CNN. Everyone that has held it, has appreciated it and has in many ways started great conversations. Well worth the purchase!

Pretty Good

I bought one of each type and they are pretty well made. The customer service was great. I bought these on back-order and they took a few days longer than the 13 day shipping deadline, but MAD was quick to respond to any questions I had and even expedited the order when they came in. To put it plainly, I am happy with them and may order more in the future.

Excellent Product!

Amazing Product, Really heavy and will work great for its designed purpose. I personaly use this as a film prop and it gets the job done, Heavy weight means you can throw it far, Metal construction means it will last pretty much forever, also the pin can be pulled out and spoon can be removed, however, there is no spring so you will have to manually flip it off. My order took a while to get to me but they said they were overloaded with orders and had really great customer service. Overall Great product and worth the price!

Inert Pineapple Grenade

Had to paint it to make it look more authentic....lot of labor. Also, thought fuse handle was spring-loaded. It is not.

Great product

Much better than I imagined. Wonderful quality! Shipping does take a little bit, but they kept me informed the whole way. It does say that it will be ready to ship within 3-13 days so I knew it could possibly take a little bit. Great customer service, great product!

Beautiful prop

I painted mine for reenactment purposes, it looks great. I appreciate that they let me know that they were resupplying when i ordered, so it took a couple weeks to get them but they looked fresh from the mold when i did get them.

When no "bang for your buck" is a good thing.

Ordered 3 dummy grenades for my WWII Airborne kit. They were perfect.

Excellent piece, excellent gift.

Ordered this as a Christmas gift, and it was very well received. It’s exactly what this person was looking for. Excellent customer service from mad city. I would definitely shop here again.

Recent Grenade purchase

Came in great shape, just exactly what I wanted to go in the man cave. Had to do some assembly, just putting the top piece on but very easy. Will probably order more if I ever need more for some reason.
