Original German WWI Model 1913 Kugel Hand Fragmentation Grenade - Kugelhandgranate - Inert German Ordnance but was only officially adoptedOriginal Item: Only One Available. The Kugelhandgranate ("ball hand grenade") is the name given to several models of hand thrown fragmentation grenades manufactured in WWI Germany. This example is known as the Model 1913, which differs from the later version in that it has more fragmentation sections unlike the more simplified 1915 model. As they were not made in any large quantities, German Ball Grenades are rare in any condition. Unloaded or dummy
