Another French WWI petard

Pictured is a somewhat different WWI French petard grenade. It came to me in a trade with a US BOCN member some time back. It is the French WWI "Barbelas" grenade. This grenade was designed for barbed wire munching as was the bangalore torpedo. These are not really uncommon but thought i'd post as I don't think i've seen one in here before. "Sticklike" in appearance it is one of the classic WWI shapes...Dano
