INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a WW1 original German Kugel Hand Grenade Model of 1915 Na, used by German troops in the First World War, complete with its original belt carrier and igniter. This grenade was easier to make than the Model of 1913 and eventually replaced it. The grenades body consists of a cast iron ball with cast on segments and filled with an explosive to give it a shrapnel effect. The grenade is fitted with its original Model 1915 brass friction tube fuse which is made of twisted wire into the brass fuse body which when pulled arms the grenade. The grenade is complete with its rare and hard to find pressed steel and leather grenade belt carrier which ws used by the German storm troops in trench warfare. The grenade carrier was taken off the belt with one hand and the friction fuse pulled with the other hand. The carrier was then discarded. See German Grenades of the Great War by Patrice Delhomme.
