Hi Everyone. Hope you all had a good Christmas and new year.
Here's a project i've been working on and off for ages. its a 1WW German M 1913 discus grenade. All the brass pellets were seized solid in the alloy centre piece and would not budge so with a bit of heat and a lot of soaking in oil for ages i've finally got it all apart and everything now moves freely as it was intended to do 100 years ago! (Thanks Snufkin for your helpful advice!)
The only bit that's missing is the 4 pointed star that fits in the middle. does anyone have a very good picture or diagram of how it is fabricated and how it fits in the centre piece?
Cheers, Paul.:tinysmile_grin_t:
