Just found this as I was looking through "The Saleroom" website: https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/...0009/lot-57666207-59fd-4ac0-ac5d-b3f6010ff5b9

Very impressive. Never seen the box before.

Hi,

I have two reference documents that state that the VB grenades were packaged in crates of 50.

"Notice succincte sur les divers modèles de grenades actuellement en service", 1918


"Manuel des munitions titre V : Grenades", 1920


Cheers,

S.
