Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert per guidelines provided by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and is not available for export. This is a rare German WW2 30mm Anti-Personnel rifle grenade known as a Gewehr Spreng Granat 30 round, offered in good condition. The steel body is painted yellow (little retained) and features a spring-loaded bakelite fuse and screw off bakelite base.
The top of the fuse is dated very faintly with 1944. There are other markings present on the head of the grenade but unfortunately they are very difficult to read.
The yellow painted body is in good condition, with some of the original yellow paint still present. The grenade would be used with a propellant cartridge and Schießbecher (shooting cup) grenade launcher to direct the projectile. Unlike many grenade launchers, the German launcher had a short rifled barrel with a caliber of 30 mm, which engaged the rifling ridges on the bottom of the bakelite grenade housing. The spin was thought to result in a more regular trajectory.
Overall a very nice complete Gewehr Spreng Granat 30 round, well marked and ready to display!
