INERT German m1913/15 Poppenberg ball stick grenade

The M1913/15 German ball grenade, used during World War I, is a distinctive and rare piece of military history. Known for its spherical design, it features a metal casing covered in a series of small, evenly spaced dimples or "balls," which were intended to aid in fragmentation upon detonation. This grenade was part of the German arsenal from 1913 and continued to be utilized throughout the war in its updated M1915 form. Typically, these grenades were filled with explosive material and designed to explode upon impact or after a short delay, spreading shrapnel over a wide area.

The M1913/15 is easily recognizable by its unique, compact shape and the characteristic dimples, which were meant to increase the grenade's lethality by enhancing fragmentation. As an inert original, this example would be rendered safe for display purposes, preserving its historical authenticity while being free of any live explosives. Collectors value these grenades not only for their connection to World War I but also for their detailed craftsmanship and the insight they provide into early 20th-century military technology.
