Exploded Mills 36

Had to share it. Thought it looked great.

Great

Awesome pointblank0, is that the one from dugup? That would be THE centerpiece for any Mills collection. Looks totally wicked...Dano

Cheers Dano. Yeah that's right, from Dugup. Saw it and had to have it. Can't display my grenades at the moment properly though as waiting to move house, but it will be a centre piece I think

Very cool Mills! Relics are a particular favorite of mine.
Thanks for posting the pics.

Cheers,
Brad

Bud you musta just got that one, I was trying to reserve a 1917 German rifle grenade they had, when that failed I tried to reserve the exploded Mills. You musta got it in a nick of time. Great score...Dano

I saw it on there when it was just posted I think and didn't think about it. I'm sure my impulse buying will get me in trouble one day!

interesting item indeed, Pointblank.
I'm amazed by the very rough fragmentation, thought the ribbed body should deliver much smaller splinters. possibly a failure?

 

[navyman]

Ah so it was you that beat me to it! Nice display item, I also was going to use it as a centrepiece for grenade exhibit.
All best,
navyman.

Interesting item Pointblank
It doesn`t appear to have fragmented very well - allthough thats a plus for you!

Heres a few more large frags from mills 36m's.

SORRY!

 

[navyman]

Pointblanko,
No need to apologise, but will race you for the next similar example that turns up.
First come first served!
All best,
navyman.

 

[pointblank0]

you're on!

By the way Paul, they're great. How long did it take to get hold of all them? I haven't seen anymore.
Cheers,
Rob

exploded kugel

I do so like the partially exploded grenades. Here is a partly exploded m1915 German WWI kugel grenade in my collection that is the centerpiece of my German WWI grenades. It even has what's left of the original fuze in it. They are generally not expensive and add versatility to your collection...Dano

 

[pointblank0]

Nice one Dano. Hows the new display room coming along?

 

[dano1917]

done

I'm going to say it is done. Was going to try and find some corrugated tin for outside wall but gave up on that one. I still may go with some tin inside and out if some comes my way. Also my plastic shelving in bunker is temporary until I build better ones with wood. Also would not mind adding an "officers table" set-up on inside...Dano

Really nice mate. Good idea about the officers table with field phone and stuff would look great. A job well done.
