Hello,
From a museum. WW1 French F1 grenade with strange fuze and uncommon cap with markings ("ON LES AURA" = "We'll get them". Some propaganda message).
Looks like a fake or something inert to support soldiers.
Any ideas ?

Great, I found information in DELHOMME books : bouchon allumeur "ON LES AURA" modèle 1918.
First time I see a picture of this igniter. I assume very rare and not adopted.
