The WW2 German, Gewehrsprenggranate or anti personal grenade was designed for use with the 30mm K98 rifle grenade launcher, the Schiessbecher, or as a hand grenade. The steel body would contain High Explosives and a detenator with a rifled Bakelite driving section at the base. When fired from the launcher, the grenade would explode on impact of the plunger or after 11 seconds. The grenade could also be thrown by hand, by removal of the Bakelite base and pulling the cord, giving a 4 second delay.

This example was in good condition and found in the East of Berlin in an area of much fighting with the Russians. It is in good condition complete with its detanator and Bakelite base section, with much of its or its original yellow paint remaining with some slight surface pitting. .
