M24 stielhandgranate

[scottmadoo]

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to ask if the M24 grenade stick had a waffenamt. I would like a complete one, but have found the stick for sale.

From what little I know, the handle would normally have a maker's mark and date, the head would typically have a Waffenampt stamp.

Hi Ralph, Thanks for your response as you can see in the first picture there seems to be a waffenampt ?? Kind Regards

Sorry about the poor pic quality, I just took this of my later one....not sure if the M24 is similar

Here is my 1939 example. I have looked at my 3 examples and found no Waffenampt. That does not mean this one is a fake, it merely means that you will have wait for more opinions.
Can you read the maker's initials?

42 brb is a known maker and acceptable mark.
