Bomba a Mano Mod. 35, S.R.C.M. High-Explosive hand grenade.

The Bomba a Mano Mod. 35, S.R.C.M. was part of the Italian "Red Devil" Hand Grenades family used by the Italian Armed Forces in WW2 and afterwards. The other two were the Bomba a Mano Mod. 35, O.T.O. and Bomba a Mano Mod. 35, BREDA, made by different manufacturers. All three had the same model number, "Mod. 35", so it is likely that all were developed around the same time. They were high explosive hand grenades with impact fuses. Each manufacturer also made two additional smoke incendiary (FI) and practice variants. The high explosive grenades were painted in red, the smoke incendiary grenades were yellow, and the practice grenades were white.

The SRCM Mod. 35, made by Società Romana Costruzioni Meccaniche, is the most refined of the series, featuring a fail-safe mechanism that would render the grenade inoperable should it misfire.
