DEACTIVATED INERT. Very Rare German Early WW1 Butterfly Hand Grenade 18210:18 - 18210:18
DEACTIVATED INERT. This is a very rare and little documented German hand grenade produced early in WW1. The hand grenade is quite unique in its action and is compact to carry. The cylindrical hand grenade has two half barrel shaped pressed steel shields that encase the explosive body and are hinged at one end. After throwing the grenade, the two wings open out 90 degrees parallel with each other to form a T shape with the explosive charge hanging below. This is achieved by putting a round hollow pin attached to the top of the grenades body through the hinge of the wings to keep the T shape. This hand grenade is of the impact type with an integral percussion fuse. A screw on steel cylindrical gaine screws into the top of the body and a screw on smooth cylindrical explosive body screws on after that. The bottom of the body has a Star of David cast into it and it was produced by Jewish Factories in WW1 to aid the German war effort. The price for this extremely rare WW1 German hand grenade includes U.K. delivery. Sn. 18210:18
