Stielhandgranate m24 - swedish spränghandgranat m39

[konepistooli]

Would appreciate to get more information if possible.
As I understand fromhttp://www.bergflak.com/m24mark.html Sweden purchased 350 000 Stielhandgranate 24 from Germany in 1941/42. How many does still exist, and is there any value or interest to talk about for a general collector. Maybe a stielhandgranate collector can tell more can clearly see markings of year, eagle, manufacturer.

Hi, this is a standard M24 normal type, if Sweden did buy some, they may have had one of the contactors marks, guess we'll never know as there are a few unknown makers marks out there to date.

However, Sweden did have their own version of the Stielhandgranate 24,

Interesting information, thanks Nick.

Thanks for reply and info.

My handle says RR 1940 + eagle stamp with letters Waa or wda, and some numbers. I think it says Waa 560, but really hard to tell for sure. Havent seen any more stamps, guess no kind of "export" stamp was added?

WaA.560 = Richard Rinker GmbH, Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg

Standard M24 handle with all the Waff marks etc, nice condition

This is not a standard RR stamp and often seen on M39 Egg Hgr.

Thanks for all answers and info.
This m24 comes from a uncle that took it with him as a memory after his time in the swedish army during the 50s. Im still going trough bunch of military items but so far this is the only object of interest to german militaria. Thanks again, interesting to own one of the imported m24s.

I found these 2 items that I suspect can relate to the german grenade.
This was in the same box as the shaft itself with some swedish military books and equipment. Can someone please confirm if these are a part to the grenade - or not.
