The grenade, with its registered number 651542 inscribed on it, dates back to 1915. The grenade's metal casing, once filled with explosives, now holds ink, a testament to the transformation of war relics into everyday objects. The glazed metal base adds an elegant touch, making it a striking addition to any desk or table. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Great War and the role of military innovation during that time.
