German demolition charges WW1

Here are some german demolition charges from WW1 which I made myself. Of course they only exist out of paper and wood!!! ;) They are made after photos of original charges, mostly in the same color and size. The text on the labels matches 100% the original ones!

Here are two pictures of original charges inside a dugout from WW1. I made repros of both of them.

And here a prototype of a repro Westfalit charge. I will be able to make some of them, so if there should be interest, please let me know.
