What's your "holy grail?"

Can't sleep! So while were up, what's eluded your grasp thus far? What's the one grenade you REALLY want but for whatever reason is not in your case? Personally, I want every one I don't have. Seriously, though is have to say its a toss up between a US MKI in good to excellent cond, or an German M24 Stick(same condition) Alrighty then, how about you guys?
 
so many I want! I only collect mint items so this makes my 'wants' a bit more elusive...

not especially rare but I'd really like a Brit L2 gren.

Like you I've always wanted an M24 stick - I only have replicas so far.
 
For my 2"mortar collection (although i did have one a while back) would be a WP round and a Signal success star shell and a mint war time smoke round. For the mine and mine fuze collection am after a mint S-Mine35 that has the tin seal, a mint Buck igniter the S-Mine44 igniter, J-feder 504.
 
I would think that A mint Stick would be pretty high on everyone's list but, from what I can tell, they're all of those are at Jeeeensy's! LOL :)
...oh yea, I really really really want a mint M26,.......and a L109, T13beano,...and....

In fact five 35x228 cartridges,preferably cutaway models

-the DM 41 from Diehl
-the AHEAD
-the PELE
-the HEI-IP met KDZ366 Proximity fuze
-the Polish APFSDS-T

It would make my collection of 35x228 cartridges near cmplete.

Yes John that is the transitional Kugel that I want. I would like the practice version of that grenade which I've only seen in the Delhomme book. There are other WW1 German grenades on my "hit list" but these are at the top..............Dano
 
German 4,2 cm HE or AP I am looking for 1 more than 28 years it would make the Collection at the museum Complete.
