ID of Stick grenade


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok guys I need some help in ID ing as WW1 German Stick grenade. My mate was given this grenade, in reasonable relic condition, but the can has a series of drilled holes in it. There are three equally spaced holes around the circumference of the can and  five equally spaced holes in the top. I initially thought this was for smoke . Does anyone have any suggestions as to the type, or photos, or rarity, if if there is a rarity to it, cheers
