I think both items have been restored, need better photos of the mine but the egg for sure. Honestly I would pass on both.

Carl,

Both are unusual and not common items. I am with MGN on the egg grenade its repainted with what looks like a repro or yugo fuse. Cant tell with the Trg mine/1Kg explosive charge. If the preice is reasonable under $100 I would say, then personally I ould buy. I have never seen a training egg grenade in any condition. Worth having as a filler until a better one comes along.

Just my opinion

I know my photo aint the best, but the 1kg is in original configuration, with 95%original paint. I have seen some rusty pieces on eBay of this one that went for around $100. So this must bring more $ ?? The egg grenade have received a brown/red primer after it left the factory, with the original signal red color underneath. The igniter is WWII German. The egg is the joker for me in value! What would you guys estimate on it?

Carl,

As an ordnance collector I'd go $200 on the training egg (as the paint is original)and and may be a bit more. As I said I have not seen one. Training Stickgrenades are on ebay for almost as much and are more common.

Paint on the egg is not original IMO, fuze is repainted. Never seen a ww2 period german fuze in bright yellow.
As for the charge I would pay $250 for it assuming its all original. (Paint and charge)
