German Stick Grenade advice

Hi Alan
I am no expert on stick grenades but if i wanted this I would ask for a photo of the inside of the head, where the explosive has been removed, to see if there is any evidence of deactivation. The repro ones i have seen are usually too clean and neat.

Thank you guys, what a minefield. It took me six months
learning about the No 5 Mills and about ten purchases lol. This seems much harder.
 
yes its an aged repro, as sold by Worldwide Arms (no they don't say theirs are repros!!). I think the 'RR' maker stamp should correctly have the Rs back-to-back, right?

otherwise not a bad repro (porcelain ball and cord are far too think but these are of course hidden inside) - i have one myself, albeit not aged... think they are made in India.
