Looks to be maybe a trip flare? That is just a guess.
Well I am pretty sure it is a hand grenade of some sort.

From what I'm looking at, has a large bracket over or used as the "spoon" thus not very functional for use in the hand. But could be a bracket for use as a trip flare or booby trap. Also has a threaded bottom part, what's that for? Maybe a rifle grenade attachment or an attachment for a stake or mount like on trip flares and booby traps. There are many trip flares that look like grenades as well, this why I was thinking trip flare.
The threaded bottom part may have the same utility than the USMC Mk21 blast grenade

Nothing to see with this ww1 shape grenade type Laffite-Thevenot.
The grenade to ID is fitted with a mills' stricker type.
From what I found out so far it is that the housing is magnetic and that the grenade is a KH m/39. Loaded the weight is ca 340g!
The threadded bottom part is for a delayed detonator. The measurements are as follows.
The word KOLD indicates it is a practice grenade.
I haven't found any thing on the Internet though, so all options are still open.
