I recieved a couple grenades today that need some TLC. One is a British No. 15 "Ball Grenade" and the other is a German M1917 Rifle Grenade. Both are in relic condition but look good. Unfortunatly the metal nub on the No. 15 is rusted to just about nothing.

I've never attempted to clean up and/or restor a grenade - how would you all recomend the rust and grime be removed? I have used vinegar on old Land Rover parts, such as bolts/nuts/screw/etc., and it works but I thought I'd see what you all do.

Thanks!

The serial number is 25834, it is painted Brunswick green, has no trail or wheels.

It went missing between Mon 22 April & Tues 23 April 2013.

The local branch of RSL (Returned & Soldiers League) would very much like it back.

If anyone in Australia knows of its whereabouts or is offered this item please contact SAPOL or Murray Bridge RSL Club.

I have posted a pic of what one looks like (this is not the exact one) so people know what to look for.

This is not a very nice thing to happen 3 days before ANZAC day remembrance ceremonies!

Regards Ozzi.

I wondered if any members had the paint code for colour; WW2 Luftwaffe Ordnance Tan ?

I'm not sure if just the RAL code is enough or if I need a paint mix code for one of the mixing machines to have some made up here in the UK? any suggestions?

I'm looking for as good a match as I can find, so interested in others experiance on this. I need it to use on a relic drop container that I am trying to preserve, so any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance
