The hand-grenade body is of thin sheet-metal and is cylindrical in shape. It is filled with an INC mixture, Thermite TH3 and First-Fire-Mixture VII. The hand-grenade fuze M201A1 is a P-DLY igniting fuze. Like all deactivated ordnance, this grenade is Not Available for Export.

The grenade is in good overall condition with a tag on the side denoting it as INERT. The bottom of the grenade has been cut off like a can, and is still inside, just loose. The markings on the body of the grenade read:
