WW1 Stick Grenades

[jeeeensy]

Hi,,
Here is a dispaly of some of the different types of WW1 stick grens.
Early large can types 1914/15 models
Then the smaller can 1916/17 models
and not to mention the Poppenbergs and Kugelkoft varient that was only in production for a short period due to their tendance to explode prematurley.

Thank you,, these are quite rare in the fact that made by Achmann Berlin.
some should have waxed paper caps and not the zinc screw caps, but then again this was transitional,, so some with and some without , wil change 2 of them to waxed cardboard later when i have time,, I'll get round to making a better dispaly of all the WW1 grens soon,,,, Rergards Nick..
