Here is another rare item, a Mk 1 Thermite Grenade, which was modeled off the French made Grenade á Main Incendiare mle. 1916. The US forces used these in WW1, however they were supplied by the French and were given the US designation of Mk 1 Thermite. The fuse is the percussion igniter mle. 1916 which had a 5 second delay. Its main use was to destroy enemy guns or for use on their own to prevent capture. These grenades do not come up for sale often, and are quite rare.
