    Looks legit. It's not the training version, as they have the fly off lever cast as part of the body. Which means at some point this thing has/ had explosive in it.

    If someone (army ammo tech or bomb disposal) has had a good look to make sure it is safe there will be some kind of "Free From Explosive" (usually FFE stamped on it) markings on it and/ or big holes drilled through it.

    If it hasn't got that, it likely still has explosive in it but there might be some kind of break in the firing train - for example the fuse is stuffed/ de-activated. In which case it definitely doesn't make the whole thing safe.

    - it happens, Kaipara RSA had a live grenade that someone donated, sitting in a grenade for years until someone figured out it wasn't a toy. - Live grenade found at RSA - crime - national | Stuff.co.nz

    If it hasn't got any "free from explosive" markings or holes drilled in it then leave it where it is and call the police for someone to come and deal to it.
