HELP WITH DOCUMENTATION (US grenades and signals)

[SUB]Greetings all

I am hoping someone can help me with finding copies of some documents to help in my research. All the documents I am looking for are US in origin.

Technical Information Reports
TIR 1-2-3 Development of Antitank Rifle Grenades.
TIR 1-2-3A1 HEAT Rifle Grenade, T51
TIR 4-4-7(1) Development of Antipersonnel Grenades
TIR 4-4-7A1 Fragmentation Hand Grenade T43

And some documents from the Navy
SNL-S-10 (ORD 11) Obsolete and Nonstandard Bombs, Grenades, Pyrotechnics and Rockets (only need the Grenade sections)
TB3-300-3 Grenade, Hand Riot, (CN) M25
TB9-1981-5 Smoke Ground Signals T38E1 Through T42E1 (1945)
TB9-1985-3 Grenade Rifle Smoke, Colored Streamer, T12 (1944)

And if anyone has one, TM9-1981 Again, only need the grenade sections, and perhaps signal sections, I know these have been issued for a number of years and have different dates, so any and all dates are appreciated.

Thanks for any help you can give me. PM me if you have any questions.[/SUB]
 
I'm thinking "Ordnance" might have some of these. You might PM him.
 
Hi Darryl,

Just noticed this request. I'm sure I can help with 3 or 4 items mentioned in your list. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the TIRs and would sure like to see those myself. I'll check the library in the next day or so.

Thanks Rick, that would be great. I have some TIRs on fuzes if you would like copies.
 
Thanks, I checked them and they don't seem to have the ones I am looking for, possibly some other stuff though. Thanks for the tip.
