1915 Kugel grenade fuse / ignitor types?

[starshell]

Good morning,

Please could anyone here tell me if the German 1915 Kugel grenade used differing fuzes / ignitors or whether just one dedicated type was used.

I ask because several collectors of military 'stuff' have suggested the fuze fitted in my example is wrong /is right / might be right / etc. (It has the fuze often seen in German Egg grenades).

I'm not up to speed as yet on German grenade specs and types so happy to learn more. Any images or technical drawings would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

This seems to be the most common fuze for the 1915 version. I have seen a few with the brass 1913 version though but after 100+ years it's hard to say what is original when things cam be swapped around.

Two pages from the Delhomme book on Grenades might help.
