Comment regarding a Nebelhandgranate head...

[BrunoH]

Hi,

I'm looking for a Nebelhandgranate 39 head (or can) and have identified the here below replica.
Could you please give me your opinion regarding its quality and especially regarding the stencil (or marking of the Nb. Hgr.) ?
Is it far from original ones or is it a good quality reproduction ?
On http://lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/ger...granate39.html , I've seen the letter are less thick but maybe some thicker markings exist ?
Any comments / inputs are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Best regards

[BrunoH]

Any comment ?

Bonjour Bruno,

the Nb-hdgr. looks quite good but I think there is a spelling mistake on the label.

It is not well readable but I saw:

Lebensgefahr beim Abbrennem
in geschlossenen Räumen.

And the 2 dots on Räumen look as if added by hand, with a pen.

It should read : beim Abbrennen

The can itself looks quite convincing, except for the method by which the white paint was applied........
"Your" shown speciment looks painted or sprayed, on the original the stencils were applied with a rubber roll,
like on the "Nebelkerze".
