As of now I am pretty sure its a post WWII grenade. Possibly a Vietnam era MK 2 Grenade? Near the neck it has these number 737J what they mean I dont know. And on the body of it it has 5 and then if you rotate it there is PFX. Any info on this that you all may know is greatly appreciated.

all I know is that the Coast guard frowned on grenades in the hanger, google it, I'm sure there is plenty of info out there.
