A trio of new Grenades

[paul the grenade]

Hi All.
heres a few new additions to the collection.
1st is an early british experimental X5 gren date 6/59 which developed into the L2A1. 2nd is the cast iron practice version of the X5 stamped on the base 01. Ive no idea what the red 3 means. and 3rd is a minty 1ww German Kugalkopft with its original handle. most you see have repro handles.
Anyone with any info on the early X5's please let me know.
Cheers, Paul.

Awesomoso

Great additions Paul. I am really partial to the German WW1 Kugalkopft. I think that is the first i've seen with original handle. And "minty" does this piece no justice as it has to be the finest example i've seen. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Oh yeah, I like the others too!!!! Good job...Dano

Very much like the German Kugelkopf. Condition seems to be very good.
