Hello I am a new kid here. I am an eclectic collector and am interested in it all. I read about it and want to hold it. I collect rifles, pistols, bayonets, patches and ordnance. I also collect Japanese. This is my small ordnance collection. Thanks, VaughnIMG_0422.jpgIMG_0424.jpgIMG_0418 Ordnance.jpg
 
A fairly diverse collection. A lot of good stuff there. WHat is the diameter of your large cannon ball, 11 inch?
 
Hi HAZORD;
I believe it is a Civil War 32 lb. round. It weighs about 75 lbs. It about 8 1/4 '' diameter. I have been looking for a threaded fuse for it for years. No luck! I ran into a guy at the Reno Gun Show, but all he had for sale were the whole rounds. He looked when got home, but had none left. Vaughn
P.S. Also I apologize for jumping ahead of everyone else that posted. I just went bottom of page and made a post. A new guy mistake. Sorry! Vaughn

Very nice Pea Shooter and welcome to BOCN. You may have a diverse collection but its all really good stuff.
What's the thing on the second photo, middle row, left above the Japanese Stick grenade?

Hello SG500;
I am not sure which one you are asking about? I think you are talking about the round white thing with the black dot. It is a Type-4 HE "Pottery" Grenade. You are looking at the top. Here is a better look. VaughnIMG_1683.jpgIMG_0463.jpg
 
Thanks sorry didn't explain myself, its the thing between the Japanese stick grenade the the black thing with fins on the extreme left of the second photo.

Hi Dave;
My Father was in the Pacific during WWII so I collect a lot of Japanese. I belong to Banzai Militaria Collectors. I couldn't afford the real item, so I purchase a replica to fill a hole in my collection. The replica was made by one of our members. It is an early Spigot Grenade Launcher for the Arisaka rifle. The Model 3 Modification 1 HE Naval Rifle Grenade is above it. It is also a replica and is so marked. Vaughn
