GERMAN WW2 M24 STICK GRENADE DATED 1940 ORIGINAL

“SHIIPPED IN CANADA ONLY”

This is an extremely rare M1924, M24, or "Stielhandgranate 24" German Stick Grenade, often called a "potato masher". 

This example is deactivated and inert.

The wood shaft of the grenade is marked ЯR 90-40 

The metal warhead is still showing lots of the original green paint 

Most Stielhandgranaten 24 in "circulation" today are mismatched, with different maker marks on the head and handles .

The  Stielhandgranate 24 was strictly manufactured according to blueprints approved by the Wehrmacht Waffen Amt so the components had the same dimensions and were made according to the DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standards.

So the threads on cans and handles would be identical between the manufacturers, and the parts could be interchanged with no problem.

Missing cap and porcelain ball at the bottom.
