Ive been running into items latley that just kinda seem right on the edge of to restore or not too.Real fine dusty rust just deep enough to penitrate the paint and not distort the metal.
So instead of racking my mind"yes it does sometimes make it hard to sleep at night":laugh: I thought Id put it to a vote and get all of your opinions!
#1 U.S. WWII HE rifle grenade,unknown M designation,no markings except two ORD marks"flaming bomb"one on the war head base and one on the fuze body and some unreadable black stenciling on the tail boom. Yes its real "naughty lil copper cone"and yes all the parts are there.I have no idea what its worth.Fine surface rust,nothing too deep,but most of the paint is ok.
Ok guys,repaint to restore or not????? I welcome ALL viewers opinions on this subject,please post away!!!So far the non painters are in the lead!!
