Re: Stick grenade finally here!
Thanks!, any idea on the date, its seems to have this weird stamp on the handle I can;t quite make it out:
POST EDIT - on the head, there is a waffen stamp
Re: Stick grenade finally here!
Holy crap, freekin' sweet! I took a photo of the hand etched date, one perspective it says 42 and tilt it slightly it becomes 43. Very clever ^^
Sorry for the poor pictures, but squeeze your eyes and you will see it.
42
43
Re: Stick grenade finally here!
If the waffenamt is WaA65,it would be for, R. Ehrhardt, Pössneck, Thüringen, 1942 I think.

Probably says 42..... wouldn't the model 43 taken over production from them ( the one with the ignitor in the head )
Head is early as has been said but nothing wrong with a 'parts grenade' in my book!! good one...

The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
