Gildwiller1918 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Here is a newly acquired Übungs-Stielhandgranate 24, or training model 24 stick grenade. It came with a charge similar (although not as powerful) to the live grenades, so it operated the same way and was more or less the same weight. It has "Ub" stamped on the wood handle as well as "42 brb", and "41 brb" on the head. Brb stood for Richard Rinker GmbH, Menden, Kreis Iserlohn, which made the majority of the training grenades. The holes in the head were to help vent gas pressure from the charge and the head was more re-enforced than the regular M24 models. The head has been repainted at some point and the screw cap at the end is not correct, more for WW1 models. But I got it at a fantastic price, so not a bad deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achtung Spitfire! Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yes the correct screw cap is a must for such a nice piece. You do see them around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yeah, I have been seeing a lot of them coming out of Russia, but the prices are a little crazy. I might wait for a better deal to come along. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Russians used to sell for next to nothing. Those days are gone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung Spitfire! Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 If you want something badly enough you’ll pay the price and prices never come down and only go up. There are always bargains to be had though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
