German Stick Grenade advice

[charlie1]

Hi, Im going to a military show soon and looking to add a stick grenade to my collection. Can anyone give me some pointers on avoiding a fake?

Are there any real obvious things i should look for?

Thanks

Also check out Bergflaks M24 page. Not a "fake" spotting specific site, but a ton of info & history on this grenade. Some of the same members are also involved with Bergflak on this as were part of thread Rick mentioned above.
