G010062 EARLY M1915 STICK GRENADE. (Stielhandgranate) An early M1915 stick grenade. The sheet metal head and lathed wooden handle measure 35cm tall. The cylindrical head, 70mm in diameter and 10.5cm tall, has a removable top held in place by two brazed, bent-over tabs, and raised studs to the upper body which fit into corresponding, cut-out slots along the descending edge of the top. Along the side of the head is a 14mm wide, brazed-on, folded-over, 8.5cm tall metal tab for attaching the grenade to a belt or boot. A threaded collar is to the base of the head which screws onto the raised threads to the top of the handle. With the handle unscrewed from the head, a 9mm diameter hole for the, absent, detonator may be seen to the center of the wood. Typically there would have been a metal spoon device on the side of the handle of this version, this example never had one? Handle shows the expected age darkening and is well marked "5 1/2 Sek". The head of the grenade exhibits moderate to heavy wear and is well marked "Vor Gebrauch Sprengkapsel einsetzen! " (Before Use Detonator insert!) To the bottom. Scarce early example.

Please note, due to Postal Regulations. De-activated firearms and Inert Ordnance may not be shipped outside of Canada.
