These have been around for many years now, but I have little technical info available. A local squad has recovered some and is looking for a technical document. Does anyone have anything that they can offer up? Thanks in advance.

MINENAZ16 is right: This device is a coloured smoke grenade of the army of the former 'German Democratic Republic', called the “Nationale Volksarmee” (NVA).
They come in two different versions (electric/pull wire). Yours is initiated by a pull wire, i.e. friction wire.
Unfortunately all my documents are completely in German and difficult to read. I have extracted the important information:
Smoke Grenade Black: (all data approximately)
Weight: 270 g
Delay: 2,8 – 5,5 sec
Duration of smoke: 60 sec (+/- 20sec)
Primer 0,5 g
Priming composition: 4,0 g (Lead tetroxide, Potassium nitrate, Silicon carbide, Bariumchromate, Ferrochrome)
Transfer charge: 20 g (80 % main composition mixed with gunpowder and charcoal powder)
Main smoke composition: 145 g: (3 % Silica gel, 54 % Potassium perchlorate, 40 % Naphthalene, 3 % Ammonium oxalate)
The sectional drawing shows a red smoke variant. It lacks the transfer charge.
Hope that helps.
Best wishes from Germany.

Is that book in the documents section of BOCN? I hate going through that web site.
