Most likely from a German M24 hand grenade (Potato Masher), from the fuse end on the bottom of the handle/stick.

Here's a link to a grenade (M24) that has the same Waffenamt.

Every so often (Once a year maybe) I actually figure out the ID something before the smart people on here steal the thunder.

Glad I was able to help you out. Where are you located in the US or Europe?
