hi everyone.
can anyone show me a picture of the cloth bags that held the explosive in the german 1915 discus grenade? or better still an original one?
i want to make a repro to fit in my sectioned grenade.
cheers, paul.
 
A kind friend sent me some pics of a very nice discus with its original empty charge bag so i thought i better share them with you guys.I better get sewing and see how my version comes out.
Cheers, Paul.

Paul Any idea how to strip the discus grenade , i have a grenade to do soon i think.
 
Hi Steve.
The two halves are very springy so you need to get a thin screwdriver under the folded over rim of the top half and carefully work your way around prising out the bottom half which should eventually pop out revealing the star shape centre.
hope this helps.
Can you remove any of the screws revealing the brass weights?
Paul.
 
Hi Paul
