The Model 39 Eihandgranate (or Eierhandgranate egg hand grenade) was a German hand grenade introduced in 1939 and produced until the end of World War II. The Eihandgranate used the same fuse assembly (the BZE 39) as the Model 43 Stielhandgranate (Stick Grenade) which was screwed into the top of the sheet-metal body. To activate the domed cap was unscrewed and the pull-cord that had been coiled inside it was tugged sharply before throwing at the target.
