Description
You are bidding on a SUPERB used example of a WW1 / WW2 German Wehrmacht Winter Zinc Sicherungskappe (Safety Cap), as ONLY used on the M17 and M24 Grenades! This was recovered from the Argonne Forest.
Stielhandgranate is the German term for “stick hand grenade” and generally refers to a prominent series of World War I and World War II–era German stick grenade designs, distinguished by their long wooden handles, pull cord arming and cylindrical warheads. The first models were introduced by the Imperial German Army during World War I and the final design was introduced during World War II by the German Wehrmacht.
Made of Zinc, this Winter Safety Cap is in EXCELLENT used condition. A few marks, scratches, and wear, due to the age, but VERY solid otherwise! Some slight corrosion, but it could be cleaned up. Though this is for the earlier M17 Potato Masher, it will fit the later M24 variant. A PERFECT addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
*** Note that as I have a few of these in stock, the item you receive may look slightly different than the exact item photographed in the listing images ***
