WW1 German Practice Stick Grenade

[Millsman]

I bought this at Beltring last year. I found it in a box of junk at the side of a Dutch dealers stall. Got it thinking it was a WW2 Volkssturm improvised practice grenade. Today, checking things out in Delhomme's book, found it to be a WW1 Practice. Rather pleased! - John

Very nice. Looks like it would make a heck of a head knocker too

Thanks Keith. I don't think I've seen one in a museum either so there can't be too many around. I'll have a look in Gent this weekend.

I'm going to hang onto this for a while as WW1 stuff could double in price next year.
