Gildwiller1918 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Here is a WW1 era French petard raquette grenade also called the hairbrush type. Originally made as a quick fix by troops on the front line, they then were made in large numbers by factories. It is basically a pipe bomb attached to a wood handle, which sometimes had a carrying hook. Since these were mainly improvised, there are many variants. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
