Mr Jeeensy,my old south-coast pal!.

Is this item i have in my collection for one of these grenades? I did have 2 of them but one seems to have gone walkies or sold?
I was always led to believe that the concrete thing i have was an emergency pattern booy-trap of sorts?
cheers

Yep,i was thinking the same matey.
I thought stock-mines were bigger with a funkier shape?

Don't know measurements of this one but to me it rather looks a concrete egg grenade. Threre should be a metal lid ( you still can see some rust band at the open end ) and M39 fuze.

 

[jeeeensy]

Ahhh. yes,, ,there's a thought.. thanks Reino.

A couple of piccs of a conc m24 head,,these may differ from manufacturer to another as these were thrown together as a last ditch effort.
( bit like MFI furniture )

Yeah,i see the big differences.
Ok lads,thanks for the info and sorry for hijacking Jeeensys thread.. As a punishment,i will post the concrete head and that nice can i bought thats sat on the coffee table.

I have never been sure about those wood handles. Any documentation about that "Last Ditch" grenade?
