Quality reproduction of the Stielhandgranate 24 "Potato Masher" stick grenades used by German troops in WWII. The size, color and markings are correctly re-created.
No stencils! New for 2023, we now offer this version of the M24's with no stencil on the head. Yes, many enthusiasts adore the cool German wording printed on the head, (reminding the user to install the fuse before use), but this marking was discontinued April 1940. Thus, after the Invasion of France, the marked heads become progressively less common as the War went on. Don't despair- the Wehrmacht had some other markings that were applied to some grenades for various purposes. See the link below.
Here is a secure link to Bergflak's article on the various marking applied to M24's in WWII.
Authenticity Notes:
1. This new generation (April 2023) has been improved. The handles are now unfinished like the originals- these were literally a throw away item and the wood was left raw. If this is objectionable, giving them a finish or stain for a more alluring appearance in one's bunker display is relatively simple.
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.
