nothing ordnace related from family, as no one would know what to buy.
I did get-
box set of ''world at war'',
a remote control panzer tank! yes tank! i'm a big kid,it smokes and rumbles and moves along err like a tank!
A few tops and some smellie stuff.
I tell folk not to get me anything as i think its for kids and i dont want folk wasting money on me as i havent much money myself.

The best gift i did receive in the post was from Grapeshot,it was a ww1 citroen grenade,i'm going to restore it.
Its my favorite gift,as its from someone i havent met and he went to the trouble of sending me something out of the blue,it really is the thought that counts.
Thanks Jim

happy times to all

Happy Christmas 18 pounder,
Good to see your new addition to family.
Good old grapeshot gave you a Citron Foug, nice present. If it's of any help I restored one, (cheaply), not long ago. Have a look under Grenades, page 3. I've put pictures there as well.
Happy new year.

I treated myself to this ~

American Ordnance Co 1 Pdr. Heavy (37x136) 45/70 subcal round, Circa 1894-1903

 

[LCplCombat]

Nothing ordnance but a friend gave me a 42" rear projection TV

 

[paul the grenade]

I got a nice new 12 mega pixel camera so now i will be able to take some top quality pics of my grenades.( my old camera was only 2 mega pixels)
first pic will be in the grenade section in a moment.
Cheers, Paul.

I got a awful hang over, nothing ordnance wise, but i think i enjoyed myself ! well i was told i did ?

 

[roller63]

No ordnance here either :tinysmile_cry_t2: but a couple of nice books on 19-20th C British coast defences, a little side interest of mine.

 

[Fuzeman]

Hi Tony
I have an interest in the channel islands defences , myself

 

[sudelmuk]

I've got only this one.
it's looking quite well, but smells a little bit strange :tinysmile_cry_t4:

 

[Gustaf]

I too did not get any new grenades for Christmas, but my father gave me a very nice 1911 that was made in 1918.

So do I. What books did everyone get about these? I would like to build my knowledge a bit.
I got a great new tool box but no ordnance
