Great reproduction of the iconic Model 24 "Potato Masher" stick grenades used by German troops in WWII. The size, color and markings are correctly re-created. The grenade even has the pull cord and ceramic ball and disassembles exactly like the originals. The screw cap will actually interchange with original M24's- the head will not.

Authenticity Notes:

1. The only detriment is the handles- they are too nicely finished. Originals were just raw, unfinished wood for reasons that should be blatantly obvious. I tried to communicate this to the manufacturer but ultimately decided that Living History would likely prefer "pretty" handles. If you want the authentic look, just sand it with 50-80 grit sandpaper.

2. There was some variation in the types of fasteners on untold millions of M24's made during WWII. The reproduction is a copy of one made with small wood screwed to hold the base of the head on, while the original in the photo is another variant that used indents instead. Both are historically correct.

3. The shape of the handles varied between manufacturers- some are smoothly tapered, others are very squared off or stepped in appearance. Of millions and millions made there were quite a few differences in the details.

The German stamp says "Before use set fuse".
