Forest Mosquito,

A Kugelhandgranate must be a lot easier to empty than a sprenggranate 30. Fuzes are quite complicated from what I can see!

I've developed quite an interest for such Things (collect mainly documents pertaining to them) seeing as you also appear to be in middle Europe i thought I'd ask where one can procure them

Hello.
did not want to offend you in any way.
I wrote to you in private messages.
With respect.

kugelgranate is practically inert after 100+ years in the ground.
but rarely are the exceptions - equipped with formulations with the addition of magnesium, although usually such a formulation is more common in eihandgranate 17.

No offence taken. You'd have been more specific If I was in the first instance. Message recieved, thanks

Hi Mr Bull. You may find interest in some uploads on Youtube by a chap called 'Stray03'. Very detailed stripping and re-assembling of all fuses, booby traps ect. He is thorough and the info. is interesting although he does speak rather slowly. I find turning up the playback speed a bit helps without losing anything from your viewing. I hope you give it a try. Regards, Francis.

Wow Zoobar. What a beautiful piece. I really love the German standards in engineering skills. You just instinctively KNOW that this would feel great in your hand. Regards, Francis.
