Description
M6 Rifle Grenade — Marked “GAS CN-DM” — with M201A1 Fuze & Launcher Adapter (INERT / Display)
This example is an M6 rifle grenade marked “GAS CN-DM”, offered as an inert / demilitarized display piece (verify inert status before transfer). The marking indicates historical designation for chemical riot-control agents — CN (chloroacetophenone) and DM (adamsite) — used historically in non-lethal crowd-control munitions. The item is fitted with an M201A1 fuze and includes its launcher adapter as shown.
The grenade body retains period surface finish with service patina and maker/lot stamping where present. The M201A1 fuze and adapter exhibit correct period machining and attachment features; both show age-appropriate wear but remain intact. Any inerting performed is permanent and non-reversible; this example contains no chemical fill, no active fuze components, and no propellant. Buyers should require written confirmation of inert status and comply with all local laws and transport rules.
Suitable for museum exhibits, research, and educational displays documenting chemical-agent munitions history and riot-control ordnance. Independent verification by a qualified ordnance professional is strongly recommended for institutional transfers.
