Description

Remco Monkey Division Grenade Rifle with Grenades & Okinawa Squad Cap (Remco, 1964). A centerpiece of Remco's prolific "Monkey Division" line, this Grenade Rifle set represents the height of the company's 1960s military toy dominance. Designed to capitalize on the era's fascination with World War II Pacific Theater heroics, the set features a bolt-action rifle capable of launching the included plastic grenades, paired with a canvas Okinawa Squad cap featuring the division's iconic yellow-and-black triangular patch. Remco was renowned for creating "regulation size" and "trigger action" toys that provided an immersive play experience, and the Monkey Division series remains a nostalgic touchstone for the "Baby Boomer" generation. The set remains factory-attached to the original display card, which shows a moderate level of wear consistent with its age and oversized nature. The cardback exhibits moderate scuffing and denting along the edges, with visible softening at the corners. Surfaces show moderate scuffing and creasing throughout, accompanied by areas of foxing and localized discoloration. The contents appear unused and securely fastened, displaying only minor shelf wear from long-term storage. These items are untested, and no guarantee can be made regarding their working conditions. This Remco Monkey Division set is a rugged piece of mid-century play warfare, the kind of gear that once turned backyards into battlefields and tree forts into forward operating bases. It stands as an evocative display piece, ready to re-enlist in any dedicated military toy collection.
