Can anyone identify the round on the photo? Enscription says it was photographed on the Verdun battlefield.

Hello,
Another.

I never knew what it was.
Maybe not ammunition?

Hello,
Another found on the german position.

Another discovered by a farmer and to be picked up soon by the demining service.

We can see here the presence of a protective cover.

Is it a version of a bounding mortar round? Has similarities to the bounding Grenatenwerfer.

Grease gun?

Construction similar to this one:

But just an idea without any proof.

Thank you for your opinions.

It reminds me of the French Taupia mortar round.

Good morning,
The 500 gram firecracker is made very differently.
