German Grenades.. for Dano and Jeensey

[MissingSomething]

So I picked up a couple of sticks and an egg from a guy.... welcome any comments....

First one has imperial eagle on top.. sand filled, no other markings besides the painted on ones...

The second one has 43 and letters...(very faint) on handle... no other markings found.

The third is labeled and painted green as seen... (AEG) are initials in corner of label. Bottom of stick cut off...

got Dano's attention

Missing Something, Wow! You sure get nice stuff. Excellent showing of excellent stuff. Man when you get grenades, you get grenades. I just don't know what else to say as I am in total AWE. As for myself I particularly like the '15 stick in the lower row of first post. that one causes goose bumps. Thanks for showing......Dano

Thanks Dano..... :xd: do you know why they would have cut the handle?

How about the practice one with the painted eagle?

 

[dano1917]

Yi dunno

Honestly I don't know what to say. I've never seen the like. Maybe Jeeeensy or someone else may have an idea. It is interesting to say the least. Just when you think you've seen it all then something different turns up. I really can't give any opinion as I just don't know. I don't know also why someone would cut the stick on the '15 stick grenade. The handle could have had the early ball finial or the screw cap end.....Best...Dano

This Stick Grenade is a reproduction, it is not a real WWI grenade.

I like your egg, it is real one :wink: very nice for one of these M39 eggs.
