M24 Grenades with arming instructions

[jeeeensy]

Thanks a lot for information jeeeensy. My M24 has the letters "Do". Which filler represents the letter Do ?

Hi I'm sure it is Donarit ( been out of the scene for a while )

Ammonium nitrate - 80%
Trinitrotoluene - 12%
Rye flour - 4%
Nitroglycerine - 4%


Hope this helps ?

Kind Regards Nick

What a great collection Nick, congratulations ! I have only one M24 in my collection ... I have a last question: My M24 dated 1939 has a paper protection inside the head with some residues of filler. Do you know when they stopped to put a protection inside the head ?

Thank you ..

not sure,, does any one else her know when they stopped using paper in the cans ?

I know in WW1 earlier cans wax cardboard liners were used, maybe in M24 they were lines for K cold climate.. not 100 sure. piccs may help if you can post them please ?

Very nice M24, thanks for posting it

Thanks for opinion MG34NZ ! Do you know when they have stopped to use a cardboard packaging inside the cans ? As you can see, my M24 has it with some residues of explosive (light yellow TNT flakes).

May want to fill the can up with Acetone and let it soak.. then empty it and wash inside out with warm soapy water,,
