Kugelgranate 1915 box

[Przemek]

Hi

On how many pieces "kugelgranate 1915" is this box?
Whether the item is quite rare in this condition?
What price reached at auction in a similar condition?










Thanks
Regards

Could you post closer pics of the instructions label, please? The box is very rare, all WWI boxes are rare, but don´t expect a lot of money, boxes are a very special field and not all the collectors want them.

Don´t post links, maybe that link will be a non working link tomorrow, post always pics.
As I have seen first, please guys, translation and info about this rare thing mounted on the 1915 Kugel. I have no idea of what is it.

This means that this Kugel has a trap/delay fuze? But it is WWI. It is very rare. Any have more info about? Where are the WWI collectors?

Kugel grenade is the Bilboquet (ball in cup). Igniter pull pin was attached to 5 or 6 meter length of string which when expelled from cup became taut and pulled pin and became a pecussion effect grenade. It is all spelled out in the Delhomme book. The Bilboquet is extremely rare..Dano
