Started a re-store on this Disc grenade today. Up to this point it was pretty evident want to do & how to do it. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how go about this project from here! I'm a little at a lose because I honestly didn't think I'd get this far, lol!

Hello, Your options are many. The overly complex design of this grenade is fascinating, so if you have more than one, I would suggest securing it to a board just as you have it pictured so it's mechanics can be explained to anyone interested. I have 3 and display one as yours is shown, one is complete as when issued, and the third is assembled but with a 2" hole cut in the center of one shell so the detonator points are visible and one can see each detonator slide into it as it is tilted.
Just my 2 cents worth! Take care, Pat
 
Great idea Pat, I do have a second that's a good candidate for the cutaway as it's got a hole in one side already! I'll start looking for my third one immediately. Thanks for help Pat, you've given me quest!!
 
No star so had to whittle one out.
