Gewehr Flussigkeitsgranate

Found this photograph whilst looking for some images for Joe. Information on this item would be appreciated.

Quite interesting labels. To me this rather looks like a parachute flare grenade.

Seems some parts of the grenade are missing.

Bonnex,

very interesting parachute flare grenade. We are still puzzling what it is.
The cardbord might be the package tube. It could be fired from a flare gun like Wurfkrper. It is no rifle grenade because of the primer cap.
What is the source of the picture - it is called HASAG 2 - probably there is an HASAG 1 and 3 pic too ??? Hasag was a factory that made and develope a lot of ammo stuff.

Thanks for your reply. I had hoped someone would look at it and say wow this must be the earliest HiLo pressure munition - but sadly nobody did. I know its wishful thinking on my part. Unfortunately I have not found the HEC reports that cover the German development of the HiLo system so I don't know whether or not 'grenades' were included in the work.

Bonnex, I agree with you, it's a Hi/Lo pressure
ammnuition; and I don't think the cardboard tube was a package, it would be the first time - for me - with the package in display. And also it has no opening to take the item from inside.

Sure it's not a rifle grenade, may be a illuminating grenade for AFV launching tubes? as an ancestor to Lyran mortar
