    Funny story . I awoke one evening & a shaft of moonlight was shining through my window . Next thing I know , a fairy slides down it & grants me 3 wishes . Could n't think of anything else so asked for a No21 . Can't divulge what the other two wishes were . Just lucky , I suppose.

    A bit of a dumb question from a non grenade collector,but how big are these grenades? I may know where a partially exploded one of these is resting in peace!


    Cheers
