I've been asked to assist in the preparation of approximately one hundred grenades scheduled to be auctioned off this Spring, sometime in the April-June timeframe. I've just returned from a quick trip to take some ID snapshots of the items, driving back 600 miles through the heart of the worst storm so far this year. These grenades were part of the collection of a deceased collector, some his own WWII recoveries in Burma, others items that he found/purchased/was given through the years. Some of the items are common, a couple trash. A number however are quite rare, and some are experimentals I've not seen before. With members consent and support I would like to post some of the pieces here, in order to obtain the most accurate identification possible. This will obviously give better exposure for the auction house, but at the same time this will give members an opportunity in advance of the auction to both view some rare items and to gain additional information on items that they may be interested in attempting to purchase. I'm having difficulty accessing the forum rules, but would like to make sure I am not in violation of any by doing this. I have already been compensated for my travel and work in regard to examining the items and purging some pieces, I am not involved in the auction process and will make nothing from it. I need to finalize descriptions of the items, but it is a broad area and I could use assistance from our many members in identifying some of the lesser known or variant pieces. Can anyone please confirm that I will not be at odds with forum rules in doing this? Thanks.
