I have been offered one of these.... what is your opinion of this one...
The green head is a repro....

All of these training grenades which I have seen have been marked RR ( first R reversed ) + number and then the handle should have same marking. Otherwise this looks quite good, does the pot have same marking as handle?
The threaded connector on handle of training grenade is made of thicker metal than ordinary M24.

The early brass little end cap is wrong in this grenade, dont you read the other thread? http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/part-wanted-stick-t28625.html
What you need here is an original detonator for complet the grenade, (as you have in one of your pics on the other thread), this nice matching bdp43 grenade.

No markings on the Pot that are readable...
Has a WaA65 on it and a swastika stamped just to the right of the 41brb
Here are a couple of more pics...

I will take it if you dont want it.
Usually there are maker's markings on upper part of the head, between the rivets.

Yes, but not always there are maker marks on the pot/head. This grenade is totally original, only the end cap is wrong. I repeat: if you dont want it pass me the offer. :top:

looks good :tinysmile_shy_t:
hello all,
Yes please, show us your fakes. Us inexperienced members would be pleased to learn what to look for. This could be very useful for us who find it difficult to check out originals, or don't have the money to spend on them.
When I started collecting I foolishly bought many items which turned out to be replicas. Thanks to everyone who can show us what to look out for.
We all learn something everytime we access this great site. I'm sure a lot of us collectors could benefit from a 'sticky' regarding this?, or perhaps a new thread dedicated to spotting fakes. Does anyone agree?
cheers,
navyman.

Yes, please. That would be great because many of us didnt know that a section of fakes already exists as a sub forum.
