I'd be obliged for any help to ID the grenades in the attached images:


No75 is 850g, 145mm long and about 43mm diameter.
No 129 is a 1913 pattern kugel with an unusual protective cap.

Many thanks

Hi Norman,
Photo interesting that confirms the existence of a protective cover for the Kugel grenade. Few document mentions it, which seems to mean that he was may be a test. In the book of Wolfgang Fleischer "Deutsche handgranaten 1914/1945" page 7, the Kugel grenade has a cover, the same as yours, it just misses the locking system which is the body of the grenade that demonstrates your picture. J hope this will help.
