Funny pineapple grenade above, classic as used in tropical climate? The british were still using a grenade at the start of WW1, the No 15 ball grenade that used a fuse similar to the "unidentified grenade", just an example you might to search from

From the finer frag pattern, it looks more like an early Japanese use version which does not rule out European manufacture. The other possible country of origin - perhaps Polish, depending on thread pattern.

This picture shows the Turkish type i was talking about in my previous post,The arabic text roughly translates as "type 2 infantry grenade" i cant see any text on yours so wonder if its the same type but different maker or a later or earlier type
the photo is borrowed from Pascal post on my site

This is a first ww Turkish Grenade. It should have a brass fuze and was simply lit by hand using a match or cigarette. it should also have a steel ring on the lug for carrying on the belt.
