I–J–4

PURPOSE:

This is a screening smoke hand grenade which is used without a wooden handle.

The cylinder is marked with a broken white band and the lettering "Nb.Hgr. 39" or "Nb.Hgr. 41". The type marked "39" is the prototype.

The prototype ("39" model) is essentially the same as the "39" smoke grenade into which the igniter is fitted with an adapter made of some synthetic resin. In the "41" mo-del, the body has been modified to that the igniter is not necessary and there are only two smoke emission holes. The wooden handle of the "39" model cannot be fitted to eit-her of the above "41" modele.
