They are very easy to disarm. Unscrew the fuse, pull the pin and let the fuse burn out and screw it back in Yes, but yours had not been sitting in someone's attic for half a century. It might have been so corroded as to make the fuse very difficult to remove. Plus the stability of the fuse would be in question after that long.
Old ammo is one thing, old grenades, with the pin half out, are something quite different. Still the police needed to have their fun too, blowing the thing up.
