Have to concur with you on that one Vinny, but as stated my favorites change like changing underwear!!! These ones fancy me most at the moment....Dano
P.S. Absolute favorite is the WWI French pneumatic 60mm mortar shell, which would remain so at least until that changes too! Also I am extremely partial to the baby discus grenades which can be an absolute S.O.B. to find!!!!!!! Dano
I have had extreme trouble sending to and receiving packages to various parts of Europe so am trying (hard as it may be) to do deals within "lower 48"
Any ideas as to where I can find a German m1917 PRACTICE rifle grenade?????
