Original German WWI Model 1917 n/A Inert Egg Hand Fragmentation Grenade Trainer with Holes & Transit Plug - Eierhandgranate

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a totally inert BATF compliant genuine WWI grenade. The Eierhandgranate ("egg hand grenade") is the name given to a model of a hand thrown fragmentation grenade manufactured in Germany, also known as Mod. 1917. A similar grenade called the Model 39 grenade was later introduced by Germany and used in World War II. Like all deactivated ordnance, this grenade is Not Available For Export.

This is a nice inert training example of the second type, called the Eierhandgranate M1917 Neuer Art (Egg Hand grenade New Model), with the raised central fragmentation band. This example has seven holes to denote it as a training grenade and has a transit plug inserted. This would ensure it was only used for throwing practice.

A perfect chance to complete your WWI ordnance collection with a hard to find German grenade!
