This is an iconic German Stielhandgranate (specifically resembling the Model 1916 or Model 1924), a type of military hand grenade used extensively during World War I and World War II. It is famously nicknamed the "potato masher" due to its distinctive shape.

Had to look it up since I'm not well versed in WWI / WWII German equipment.
