WW1 grenade assortment

[Slick]

While wasting time looking through Vintage Pictures archives, I ran across this picture. It may have been posted here in the past. Maybe there should be a prize for correctly IDing the lot.

One Austrian. Never seen the one 3 from right that look like a lamp.

I think the one that looks like an Austrian Zeit is possibly an Italian Carbone . They're a bit smaller . Mike

The Carbone is number 4 from right. The Lafitte is number 3 Mike.

Seawitch . Yes , I was referring only to the one John thought was Austrian , the Zeit that is a Carbone . Those Lafittes are a bit difficult to ID as they actually appeared in 1915 & the Italians made a very similar one as they also did with a lot of other French grenades based on Aasen designs etc. We'll probably never know for sure about the one in the photo ! The rarest one in the photo is probably the first one on the bottom row that would appear to be a French M16 incendiary with its original label . Not a grenade that you often come across . Mike.
