DESCRIPTION. The grenade body is of thin metal and is of an elongated egg shape. At the bottom a small metal loop is welded or riveted on, and at the top there is a threaded hole to take the igniter. Near the top are three holes in the body for smoke emission. (See fig. 295.)

The igniter used with this grenade is the standard pull type ZDSCHN ANZ 29. This igniter has a brass body and a steel ring at the top. The igniter screws into the top of the gre-nade and functions when the ring is pulled.

The grenade is identified by three white bands stencilled around the body and the letters "NB Eihgr. 42" A label near the bottom of the grenade warns that the fumes can be fatal in an enclosed space.
