Product Overview and Introduction

Acquire an exceptionally rare and heavily regulated piece of Wehrmacht frontline ordnance packaging with an Original WWII German M24 Stielhandgranate Metal Transport Case, dated 1935 and complete with four original M24 stick grenades. Officially designated as the Tragekorb für Stielhandgranaten, these heavy-gauge sheet metal transport containers were issued to infantry and pioneer units to safely store, organize, and transport multiple “potato masher” grenades to the front lines protected from moisture and impact.

This museum-grade grouping features an early pre-war metal crate dated 1935, retaining its original field-gray or ordnance-tan paint, interior wire/bracket racks, and latching lid with maker stamps. Accompanying the transport chest are four original M24 stick grenades featuring wooden handles, stamped sheet-metal warheads, and porcelain pull-ball fuze caps, representing the quintessential infantry blasting charge of the German armed forces from the invasion of Poland to the final defense of the Reich.

Historical Significance and Wehrmacht Ordnance Logistics

As a vital component of infantry explosive supply chains, this transport chest and grenade set carry immense historical weight and strict logistical pedigree:

• 1935 Early Pre-War Production: Manufactured during the rapid rearmament phase of the Wehrmacht, showcasing high-quality early industrial stamping and durable metal preservation.

• Complete Field Grouping: Finding an authentic metal transport container paired with genuine period M24 stick grenades is an extraordinary collector milestone, as most wooden and metal crates were expended or discarded in combat.

• M24 Stielhandgranate Legacy: The definitive fragmentation and concussive grenade of the German military, utilizing a time-delay friction igniter pulled via a porcelain bead housed in the hollow wooden handle base.

• Ordnance Stamping & Markings: The transport crate features period inspection stamps, manufacturer codes, and acceptance marks documenting its military lineage.
