Man, I wish my postman was that nice. Good score. And some fine picture takin' skills, as well.
It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Nice grenade! Not seen any BR marked ones with original paint left.
Is belgian grenade body always marked with BR or was there other belgian markings also?
I have about 10 of these,but only one has BR on grenade,others are marked with ATS.
Now i know what type body i should search for BR24 fuzes.

I have "French" F1 bodies from WW2 storage also marked ARE and other with a tiny ovale surrounding FA and some letter after this but I can't read it.
