German Wehrmacht 15 Stielhandgranaten 24 Stickgrenades M24 Box WK 1939 Refurbished Or Recycled.

Germans were pioneers on the recycling thing, (many, many years before Greta Thunberg started to talk about this), they recycled all the packaging stuff along with the shells/cases for Artillery, Flak, PAK, KWK, etc. This very nice M24 box was factory made in 1939 and left the factory with all the white stencils applied in and out. Later in 1940 these stencils were stopped to apply, (the reason is not clear, but could be because camouflage; white letters over green base can be seen clearly from long distances, or just for save time and work), and paper labels with all the info started to be applied. In 1940 the M24 stickgrenades were started to manufacture without the white stencils also. So, this box went to Battle, got empty and sent back for refill. At factory got new paint out, (if the box was received very damaged on paint they painted all again, if paint was ok, they left it as is), and you can guess the original white stencils still under the new paint. Inside the box was still nice so they left it with original paint and stencils unmasked. I collect these boxes for 20 years and they are a collecting field on themselves as many variations can be found, I find really exciting the variations made when recycling, you can find M24 cases recycled into M39 Smoke cases, or into M39 Egg cases, etc, etc.

Now about shipping, all will depend on your location as there are several options of shipping depending where you live, expect around 20 euro for some countries in Europe, around 40 euro for other European countries and around 60 euro for out of Europe. You can buy the box and ask later, no problem, for avoid other can buy it while emails going in an out, this happened to me and I know it is very frustrating.
