Herr_Petomer Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi guys, So yeah Stick grenades, it's something I have always wanted to add to the collection but never seem to come across them nor how much they are worth! Are you guys able to enlighten me? Pete 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAF635SQ Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It depends on era i guess. I have seen WW1 versions reach around £200, but the WW2 M24/39/43 versions are slightly more expensive if they are real from what i can remember. I have seen some brilliant replica's at shows before that even have removable heads and handles etc at only around £30 if you cant find a real one 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 You have to be very careful with stick grenades, there are excellent copies going about on allot of sites, they even have the Porcelain ball and are aged like the real thing, only the makers marks give them away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr_Petomer Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah I have seen the copies with the metal head which will screw off plus the bottoms which will screw off and the nice porcelane ball on a string will pop out. I own 1 simply as a collection filler till a real 1 decides to show itself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yes, the WW2 German Stick Grenades are hard to come by nowadays. There are many fakes out there and real ones have jumped in price. My main interest is WW1 grenades to include the stick variants from that period, I do have 1 WW2 version which is shown below. The wooden handle is marked "42 BRB". BRB stoof for Richard Rinker GmbH, Menden, Kreis Iserlohn. The head is in rougher shape as it has some rust and corrosion issues. You can barely make out the white ink eagle inspection stamp, below it are 2 digits for the year, but I cannot make them out. The head does screw onto the stick body and it displays well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung Spitfire! Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 My M24 put together from different sources.Note the manufacturers stamps/dates & eagle inspection stamps on both the head (ground dug) and the stick. The head is also stamped on the side (in black) with the date it was filled with explosive in Feb 1938. The white stencilling reads insert detonator before use. To reduce production costs this stamp was phased out in 1940. The eagle inspection stamped base cap is complete with the spring and cardboard disc (which was to prevent the porcelain bead from rattling).There is no fuse or porcelain bead but these can be added at a later date. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
