This grenade was found among onions and is believed to have come from France. Does anyone know what type of grenade it is? It has copper driving bands.

Unfortunately, the shell has already been taken away by theEOD team.

Hi collectors,
I’ve found two more shells of the same type. My question is whether a shell like this is safe to add to my collection.
On one of the shells, the fuze appears to be damaged. On the other, it looks as though the nose is either solid, or there may be a fuze hidden beneath the dirt.
If either of these shells appears to be safe, what would be the best way to clean it so I can see the details more clearly?
