This is something I've been working on for a while and am VERY excited to finally carry.
These replica M24 German Stick Grenades are the result of trying MANY different manufacturers and only finding ONE that would be willing to make them anywhere close to the originals. The result is awesome, and I'm so happy with them, I'm keeping several for myself.
These feature metal heads and hardware, and a very nice un-finished wooden handle, just like the originals. The heads are stamped with the typical white lettered "Vor Gebrauch, Sprengkapsel Einsetzen" text, and the tops are stamped with the Reichsadler and maker stamp. Handle is maker marked and dated 1939 just like the heads, making these suitable for early war through the end of the war. The bottom cap unscrews to reveal a pull cord with ceramic ball, just like an original.
Now. How mine are different than all of the other ones that pop up on the market from time to time: The handle shape is the biggest thing. Others make the handles too wide on the tops, and it's too wide for too long. We used many different original examples to come up with this shape, and it's spot on.
Other grenades also have a coat of polyurethane on them for whatever reason, and mine don't, just like originals. this means if you want to add grime and grease, or stain them a particular color for aging, you can, but they come as they would have arrived at the front in their original crates. Some of the handles have a yellow-ish hue to them, but that's just from the wood itself, not any chemicals or anything added to it. The markings are also copied from original examples.
These are 100% inert, and can NOT be made live in any way, in accordance with BATFE regulations, and are only toys/replicas. Since they do have metal parts on them, the following applies: These CAN NOT AND WILL NOT be shipped outside of the United States, FPO or APO addresses or to the state of California in accordance with California Penal Code 12020.
