Paul Reed Posted 10 April , 2005 Share Posted 10 April , 2005 It looks like a French 'Citron' grenade to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 10 April , 2005 Share Posted 10 April , 2005 As Paul says it's a French Citron (lemon for obvious reasons) Foug model 1916. Simple little grenade, wooden plug with spring loaded percussion fuse, non automatic - bang it on your boot type. Would have had a tin cover or 'chapeau' to act as a safety, like many French grenades really rather unsafe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
