Original German WWII 98k Rifle Schießbecher Anti-Personnel Grenade Round Dated 1944 - Inert
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert per guidelines provided by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) this is a rare German WW2 30mm Anti-Personnel rifle grenade known as a Gewehr Spreng Granat 30 round, offered in very good condition. The steel body was painted yellow and features a spring-loaded bakelite fuse and screw off bakelite base. Not Available for Export.
The inside of the bakelite base is stamped 44 / lpk / 3 and for 1944 manufacture by known ammunition and fuze maker Servotechna AG, which operated in Prague in what was then German occupied Czechoslovakia.
The side of the top housing has additional markings: AZ5071 St 44 wa 181, for 1944 manufacture.
The body is missing most of the original yellow paint.
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!
