Davejb Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 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
Field Marshall Lenny Posted August 29, 2016 Field Marshall Posted August 29, 2016 Practice grenade... Not that rare to be honest @Davejb

Major General Bil4338 Posted August 30, 2016 Major General Posted August 30, 2016 I know the sort of grenade this will be, alas can't recall if it's French or British, I've got it pictured in my mind! 1
Davejb Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks Bil, could you send that projected picture to Lenny lol 1
Major General Bil4338 Posted August 31, 2016 Major General Posted August 31, 2016 Tried sending, but it just keeps buffering, then a message appears 'failed to send'....
