some help..

[Spgr30]

hello,
I cannot find picture of "Stielhandgranate Friedrich 1916". It's a WWI percussion grenade and apparently hard to see! There is great information about it in the book Patrice Delhomme "Les grenades allemandes de la grande guerre" , some historical picture prsente it in soldiers'hand, but I've never seen it apart from that ...thank you for your help..

I have found some info in some books I have on German grenades and have attached them. They are pdfs which I have compressed to fit as imaging the pages made them look pretty ordinary. Of interest is that the German book I took one of the pages from (Handgranaten-Atlas) had a different image from your one for the Friedrich grenade.

This is the grenade. Maybe the head is not the right one, but the
stick is perfect.

No no... August has stick of aluminized cardboard; there is no percussion blasting, just automatic ignition upon throwing.
PS: What is the situation with grenade collecting in China?
