According to the Osprey book on WWI Italians, they used several grenade types: a licensed version of the French Thevenot (this had a percussion head on a wooden handle), the baldari (had a long wooden handle), the SIPE (looks like a Mills bomb), the BPD (cylindrical with a brass cap) and a version of the Austrian Zeitzunder-Handgranate (had a handle made of steel wire). All the photos I have found show the metal parts blackened with age, I would assume you can't go wrong painting the metal parts a semi-gloss grey-green and the handles wood if appropriate.I assume those are the hand grenades from the ICM set. They don't look like any of the types mentioned above but they are closest to the BPD type, although all the photos I have found show BPDs with only one fuse cap on the top. This is allegedly an original BPD grenade so you could use this as a guide:Italian BPD Grenade
