My European Rifle Grenade collection: No94 Mk2, L1A1, MECAR ENERGA, and more

[FlightRN]

Good Day All,
I've collected a number of different firearms over the years and a few years ago I started to collect the MECAR grenade launching attachments to the M1 Garand. That quickly followed by seeking and acquiring various rifle grenade examples made by UK, Italian and others. The hunt has been fun and I look forward to it continuing.
Best Always,
Mike

Sectional ENERGA No94 rifle grenades, Np 94 practice grenade, and metal cartridge box

Good Day All,
I've been able to expand my collection with a few interesting additions.

If anyone knows where I can find 2-3 more plastic fuse covers, please let me know.



Best Regards,
Michael

And if you don’t already have the webbing carrier for 2 x Energa grenades there is one for sale on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRENADE-CARRIERS-WEBBIIG-/283628138590?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Good Day All,
I pulled out a few pictures various UK, Italian , and British examples of the ENERGA. The sectional/ cut-away piece does not have any markings so the origin is uncertain. If anyone recognizes the manufacturing style, I would appreciate it. Additionally, I would like to find a source in the US for the correct size (75mm) cardboard rifle grenade tube. Any help would be appreciated.

My appreciation to hangman for the lead on the fuse covers (see above). I was able to pick up a few.
Best Regards,
Michael
