A couple of grenade finds at the Great Lakes Cartridge Show.

I'd love to find an ID/country of origin for the training stick grenade on the right, the large blue throwing dummy, and the unusual egg. I also found a mortar that confuses me. M49 pattern, but too long for US/US clones, to include the Chinese. (no ignition cart)

-the red stick grenade is known as ww2 german commercial training grenade.

The German WW2 M24 Stielhandgranate ods and ends

-the base of the german egg grenade seems to be homemade

That was my thought, but it appears to be period, and also why? You'd have to cut the grenade to do it, and they have never been hard to find - ?

Good info on the stick grenade, thanks.

bonjour, il n'y a aucun intérêt à avoir scié la moitié inférieure de la grenade "oeuf" et la remplacer par une partie conique , le reste de peinture jaune/beige me fait penser à une grenade d'un pays d'europe du nord ou suisse (prototype)

Similar, but about 7-8mm longer than either any of mine.
