Unknown wooden tan Box 10HWK42Gn

[heinrich66]

Hello,

a friend of mine found this today and emailed me a pic.
The box is unknown to me. The coloring is the late war tan.
The inscription read 10HWK62Gn Vorsicht Glas.
My only explanation would be 10 (pieces) HandWurfK******246;rper (19)42 Gn(?) Attention Glas. MAybe some kind of smoke grenade - but the box for the smoke grenade reads normaly "Nebel Hgr" or "Blendk******246;rper". 2 other possibilities are some kind of ersatz grenade made of glas or grenades for the sturmpistole ( i found a similar term of PanzerWurfK******246;rper for the sturmpistole) - but glas for the sturmpistole?

10 pieces (Stück) Hand Werf Körper, (type) 1942, Glas n=?. The n is a mystery for me, the rest is correct in my opinion.
Interesting box.......

, Glas n=?. The n is a mystery for me,

IMO Corect and the N means Nebel, so in english smoke
So its the so Called Blendkörper IMO

No, if Nebel, n would be N
