Here’s an interesting one. This is a pistol grenade designed for a 27mm type signal pistol. The end of the bakelite stick has a shotgun cartridge type primer. When the grenade was fired it would be thrown from the pistol and timed to explode about 4 seconds later. The grenade on the end is basically a type E-39.
