The head of the Stielhandgranate 24 is the explosive canister of the standard German stick hand grenade. The design was introduced in 1924 as a successor to the First World War stick grenades, and it stayed in production and use with the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht until 1945. The head is a thin sheet-steel cylinder that held a TNT-type charge of roughly 170 g. It was screwed onto a hollow wooden handle containing a friction igniter and pull cord, and it relied mainly on blast effect. Early heads carried a white instruction to insert the detonator before use. This text was dropped from April 1940. Collectors usually distinguish three construction versions. The first had left-hand threads and a carrying eyelet. The second, standard version had machined threads and a separate rain cap. The last, late-war version had pressed threads, a flanged lower edge and a wider rain-cap band. Identification relies on the maker code and year stamped on top, Waffenamt marks, and inked filling codes on the side. A 'K' code denotes the cold-weather filling. Other variants include the practice head, the Nebelhandgranate 39 smoke type and the clip-on Splitterring sleeve.
