Hi Paul, that one on left (so at least i've been informed) is an m1914 German practice rifle grenade, but rarer version with removable top that could be loaded with smoke charge for easier shot spotting. I have seen 2 others, one was show of shows in Louisville Ky in about '02. that guy wanted 450.00us for the grenade. After a polite "no thanks" I found a secluded corner and cried a few hours away, made a few shrewd if not meager purchases, then got really drunk with another collector mate I know, who also had to pass on a piece he wanted badly, the time of my life...Dano
