M39 Egg Eihangranate

[The Devil's Bank]

My restored egg grenade.

Don't know much about them really, always wanted one though.

Also pictured is a replica fuse. The clean one

I think my original igniting fuse "BZE 39" was "Blue", which means 4.5 seconds, a standard fuse.

[mpw]

Very nice. If I remember correctly the colours of the fuse to were red, blue, yellow and grey. Red being a very nervous one second! Perhaps this was used for booby traps etc.
I'm currently tidying up a relic M24 and a M43 smoke grenade and will post photos of both when completed.

Rgd's, Mark.
