Pull Cord in M24 German Grenade

[ekim199944]

What type of cord was used in the M24 Grenade? I remember seeing pictures of different cords a while back, but can't find it anywhere. Also where can one purchase cord similar to what was used.

Here are 2 really great sites that talk about that :

http://www.bergflak.com/m24constr.html

http://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/germany/stielhandgranate2439.html

and you can find "real" ones on ebay right now and quite often.

AND if you look RIGHT NOW there's one for sale here

But, as I said, there seems to be one or more every month or so.

Thanks for the web sites. The second one you mentioned is the one I had looked at long ago and couldn't find again. The ebay listing you show, is the one I bought. The string on it is so brittle that it broke with ease. It does show me the cord used, but when I went to buy similar cord I can only fine ones that are thinner or thicker. Will keep looking. Thanks for your answer.

Glad to help.
Now if only someone could answer MY question about the Panzerschreck rocket connector pin and come up with good picture of it I'd be a happy camper !!
