That is one I have never seen. Love those strange obscure WWI grenades! I really like AustroHungarian and Russian WWI grenades.

Nice job Paul. I've never seen one of these despite going to maybe a hundred French militaria fairs in the last 15 years. John

Here is mine (Had tried to post before but for some reason it never took, I will probably end up with 4 copies of this post :neutral

As an aside, I have decided to curtail most of my collecting, and after offering it to a few US collectors/dealer, Jeff Shrawder from Advanced Guard Militaria has bought the entire (133+) collection as well as my extra parts . So if you're interested, watch Jeff's catalogues in the near future (he picks them up the end of December)
