I picked up this rifle grenade and the seller wasn't sure if it's German or Austrian and I'm not sure either. The fuse is most unusual and it came with a rod that is in excellent condition.
What you have is a nice example of the "Gewehrgranate 1914" with the last model of its fuze. This fuze, with the ribs on its top that were supposed to make it more sensitive, was only introduced just before production was stopped.

Thanks for the info on the fuse. I did not know what the ribs were for on the fuse and did not know their was a limited run on these fuses at the end of the war.
