Hi MINENAZ16,

In 06/44 this grenade was modified by the company HASAG Leipzig. (i.e. new without the stabilizing collar)
Drawing of the grenade body without the laboratory charges and fuze...

Hello MINENAZ16,
as usual I'm late to the party, but the photograph you depicted in your initial post is a mock-up. I'll post a photo here of an inert authentic one soon. Any requests in reference to the angle or view?

Thank you. Yes I noticed a strange "bourrelet" on the base of the body on this picture. I used this picture from the web only for an illustration for the post. I can't go to our museum to check so I ask for the material.
 
OK, understood. I'll take pictures of different angles/sides, which could be useful for other bocn-members. The depicted mock-up is not embossed like the original. I should be able to post the pictures tomorrow, sorry for the delay.
