Possible practise stick grenade?

[MrPotts]

I just saw this at a antique store here in town and wondering if its a repro grenade or a real actual practice one?

[MAP]

I'm no expert on these. Hopefully someone will be around. But I have a practice version (see below). Not sure if there were other practice types.

Also, here is a good site that may help ID if it is fake or real.

German Stick Grenades, WWII - Inert-Ord.net

And mine....(an old old picture). The holes are to release the gas that was produced when the glass capsule broke after it was thrown...or so I have been told.

Thanks for the reply, I was waiting for a comment. Yes I found that site and I don't know if it was. It was at the same place where I got the helmet ( got that crap off it btw) . I have seen reproduction metal ones and this one just had some different type of markings. On it. So Im not sure.

wish I could help more. Sure others will be around. Just give it some time.

Given the like new condition I would be cautious.
