#DENNIS AGENA TRIAL#

This is all that is known about the grenade that injured the plaintiffs.

All of these shipments occurred between 19. Of the total 24,707 grenades in this second lot, 700 were shipped to Okinawa, 12,557 were shipped to Missau, Germany, and 11,450 were shipped to Aliamanu, Hawaii. Lot 1-51, was shipped to varying locations. Lot 1-50, which consisted of 30,000 grenades, was shipped to the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in Burlington, Iowa. An investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (hereinafter 'ATF') discovered that both lots of grenades had been manufactured by the Harvel Kilgore Corporation of Tennessee in 1966 for the United States government. A specific determination between the two possible numbers could not be made due to the condition of the spoon. Although somewhat damaged by the explosion, the lot number imprinted on the spoon could be read and determined to be either HRV 1-50 6-66 or HRV 1-51 6-66. The only physical evidence remaining from the grenade was the handle or 'spoon,' which was recovered by the police.
