Valkyrie grenade

[Gunmaster45]

Go to Talk:Valkyrie and see if anyone can ID this grenade used in Valkyrie.

The grenade that Kenneth Branagh is holding is a Gewehrpanzergranate 30 also known as GewPzGr. 30 Rifle Grenade. The tail cap has rifling to match the rifled bore of the grenade launcher. I have some photos will post when I am back at home.

That? But the one in Gunmaster's pictures looks like it's made of wood, and he seems to be operating it using the arming pull cord of a stick grenade.

Actually, there was dual purpose rifle or hand grenade, also known as the Model 30, with a pull igniter. They were colored yellow, which is why it looks like its wood.

You are correct Nyles as I listed it wrong. The name is Gewehr-Sprenggranate Model 30. You can see is in this link.

Don't feel bad, I'm a collector and WW2 German ordnance terminology even confuses me sometimes.
