Can anyone give me some information about the Italian PO allways grenade. It looks like a development of the BDP grenade. Any information on dates or a sectional drawing would be appreciated.
The body of PO (Petardo Offensivo) is made by sheet can tin ; the OLERGON fuze is a all-ways impact. It exist also a PD (Petardo Difensivo) model with a heavy cast iron fragmentation jacket inside the can tin. And a PI (Petardo Incendiario) filled with WP. If interested there is a book, in Italian sorry, about ww1 grenades.

Please excuse me Francesco. I've checked back on the photos I took of the PO and yes the body is tin plate and the BDP was cast iron. So you are correct. Thanks.
