Unknown WW 1 Rod Grenade

[wichitaslumlord]

I am hoping someone can help identify this rod grenade. It was recovered from a lake in the Masuren region of Northeastern Poland many years ago. It was recovered with a wide variety of ordnance from WW 1.

There is a mark stamped on the body in the 2nd picture which may identify the manufacturer.

the body is 46.3mm in diameter and 137mm long. The rod is 7.62mm in diameter and 71.5mm long. The fuze is 19mm in diameter and 26mm long.

Thanks in advance for any help! Pat

Could it be a Gewehrgranate M.16 without its control surfaces ? look at the photo from this Russian site:

BTW the original Austro-Hungarian manual for the Gewehrgranate M.16 can be downloaded from the digital site of the Czech Defense Ministry Archives:
