Daniel Murphy Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Actually that is the unit marking for the 5 1/2th company of the 2nd Gebirgsjager Battalion. Truthfully it means the grenade has a 5 1/2 second fuze and "G.J.B." is the initials of the company that made the grenade.Dan Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
