German 1ww 1917 rifle grenade

[paul the grenade]

I bought this excellent example of a 1917 german cup launched grenade recently and thought i would share it with every one. the detonator and fuze are empty and inert and it has all its internal carboard packing washers. after a good search through my files i find that there is not a great deal writen on this grenade. does anyone have any official documentation on it?
Cheers, Paul.

Weight 750 grams. Charge weight 50 grams. Fuze burning time 5 sec. Range at 30-45 degrees angle 150 meters.
