Gildwiller1918 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Here is a WW1 era Austrian made Zylndergranate, a very simple design, a handle that activated the fuse was locked in place by a pull ring. There are traces of the feld-grau paint on the bottom of the grenade. It is basically an upgraded Lakos type, which was a tube grenade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung Spitfire! Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Nice complete example. Don't see them very often with the handle and pull ring etc. Just the tube capped at both ends. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks, the Austrian Grenades are quite interesting, not much information available on them compared to other nations. There are two versions of this grenade, the other version looks almost identical except for a spring and pin added under the release handle. The Lakos types look very similar as well, but are much more slender and longer, with as you said just plugs and a fuse, with at least 10 variants known. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
