Do you know who it is?

Actually - it's quite simple! There is a powder filled rifle shell up inside the grenade. When it's placed over the 'spigot' (shooting arm) of the Gr.W. you just pull the triggering cord and the firing pin hit's the propellant shell just like a rifle's firing pin hits a bullet.

I'm looking for just about anything that goes with the Granatenwerfer 16 such as grenades, tools, boxes, propellents, photos, etc. Will consider any item and any condition. Thanks, Larry
