WW1 Stielhandgranate - stencil details required

[exat808]

Can someone please tell me or post an image of what the correct stencil markings on a M1917 should be. I inspected this today and want to advise the owner if the markings are appropriate. All advice greatfully received.

This is probably a replica one but I think it's accurate . Jeensey would have more info . Hope it helps.

Hi the can seems to be a large can type and not of the M1917 smaller type that was standardised on. this would make it earlier varient or close to the change over to the M1917.
Some had labels and some were stencilled onto the can, the stenciling here looks original, some more piccs would be welcomed.

Kind Regards nick ..

The only other pics that I took yesterday were these. We were carrying out an FFE inspection on a collection.

Hi I found this one and is the same as yours in photo.. it is all original but the price on this one is massive otherwise i would be intersted in it., is over 1,000 Euros
the stenciling os original and can compare to yours to verify originality.
