The granat obronny wz. 33 (Polish for defensive grenade mark 33) was a fragmentation grenade used by the Polish Army before and during World War II.The shell casing was molded from cast iron and formed into a pineapple-shaped oval typical of World War II-era hand grenades. More specifically it was modelled after earlier Polish grenades of 1920’s (such as the Defensive grenade wz.24) which in turn were based on French World War I F1 grenade. It was fitted with wz.Gr.31 percussion fuse.
