A 2.75 diameter cast iron grenade scored in the middle to improve explosive radius.
Imperial German WWI Egg grenade known as the 1917 Eierhandgranate, a very popular and effective design that led the British to copy it with the egg shaped No. 34 grenade. Original and complete with uncommon complete fuze. Original black paint is mostly removed on this specimen but some visible between ridges on mid grenade.
