Stielhandgranate

StielhandgranateThe Model 24 Stielhandgranate (German, "stalk hand grenade") was the standard hand grenade of the German Army from World War 1 until the end of World War 2. The very distinctive appearance led to it being called a "stick grenade", or a "potato masher" in British Army Slang, and is today one of the most easily recognised infantry weapons of the 20th century.

The stick grenade was introduced in 1915 and the design developed throughout World War 1.
