Yes, They are real
Not often found un-fired
As John has already pointed out these are original.
These came about due to the SS having to obtain their own ammo supplies: the Army was unwilling to supply them at this stage through it's supply channels. So contracts were placed by the SS for their own ammo.
Cheers, Ade.
Also the Grenades was also SS marked

DWM = Manufacturer (Deutsche Waffen- u munitionsfabrik Berlin)
