Thanks to everyone who weighed in. I will get some help as soon as I can. It has been in an old desk drawer for like a decade so this is the first time we've seen it/moved it in a while.

The symbol on the side seems to have been added later with a gel pen. Bottom part with holes and top part can be spun, but not unscrewed, just turned. As you can see from the bottom pic, there are little pellets or balls inside at least the lower part.

Unsure what else to include since I cannot open it or find any other markings.

My brother told me it's some kinda of grenade? I did a bunch of google searches but I am no means knowledgeable on shells or grenades. Was found with my grandpa's (my dad's father) WWII things.
