From the info you have posted, assuming the fuze was never changed for any reason, you likely have a Mk3 concussion grenade. The M206A2 fuze only came on the Mk3. A Mk3 should look like this:



See pages 5, 17 & 18 in Field Manual 23-30:
http://library.enlisted.info/field-manuals/series-2/FM23_30/3301CH.PDF


The MK3 offensive hand grenade is a concussion grenade designed to produce casualties during close combat while minimizing danger to friendly personnel. The grenade is also used for concussion effects in enclosed areas, for blasting, or for demolition tasks.
MK3 grenade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This type of grenade IS illegal to possess per federal law on explosive devices. (without proper licensing, etc - which I assume you do not have, or else you would not be asking) It contains 7 - 8 oz of TNT, has a 4-5 second fuze, and has a casualty radius of 2 to 7 meters depending on usage area.

9-70 should be the manufacture date.

Sure. You can always trust the police.
