I am going to sell it. I just want to know if the spoon is accurate to this grenade. 

I don't think the spoon it has will pivot.  Maybe a photo looking straight at it will help but I don't see it with a pivoting spoon as shown. The body looks OK.

I had forgotten that late in the war a non-pivoting spoon was developed. The pivoting handle or spoon was deemed "too safe". Specifically, the procedure of pull pin, twist handle(spoon) and throw was found many times in combat to be pull pin, and throw, resulting in no detonation of the grenade. I do not know what the official designation of the new design grenade was.  The spoon does look a bit too long for this grenade, but I have nothing to support that.

What would it be worth with out the spoon since it does not swivel?

 

I don't know. Try Ordnance section.

To be a WW1 era grenade, it needs a short spoon. 

…and a different fuze. The MK1 ( your grenade body) initial fuze was a failure and the War Department was able to design a different fuze, some say they were able to be fielded before war’s end.

 

This vintage War Dept picture appears to confirm that. 

Bonjour.
