| Description | French Bracelet Grenade 1915 |
| Details |
French bracelet grenade, which hooked around the thrower's wrist with a strap or thong. Innocuous while in the soldier’s hand, the jerk as the grenade extends the strap and flies free by means of swivel-hook pulls out a catch in the bomb and starts the fuse burning.
