Does anyone have a M33 grenade they can take some pictures of, including a close up of the nomenclature on it? Need some pictures for a 60-series publication update.

Joe,

I believe I have a replica with the correct writing on it if that helps out?

Yes .. that would work. I would lust like to show the marking set, with correct coloring.

Joe,

my apologies about being a day late. Here is what I have that are "Replicas" that also supposedly have the correct writing as one would have on a live M33 I suppose? Here they are:







Can you read the writing? If not I will tell you what lines 1 & 2 say on the replica grenade?

Whew! Glad to see someone else isn't afraid to show that they possess fakes. Was thinkin' I was the only one interested in them.
Dano popped my cherry with a primo resin Mills and it's been downhill ever since.

Well Rick, we all gotta due with what we have at the moment. Since we are both in the same world, you in for trading "Relicas? Sounds like a very cheap ordnance collection to me? Very cheap that is. Maybe Paul or one of the other great Mods will let us have our own forum here. Could be called "Replicas r us", the cheap way of collecting. Might be worth something latter when the price of plastics grow out of this world.

Hi Guys, I found a really nice replica M34 from here:

http://www.toysoldier.com.hk/contact.php (And search "grenade") Even weight wise really realistic :)

Some pics attached, and apologies if offending anyone with a "Copy" grenade on a REAL grenade forum, yet M34's hard to come by here in New Zealand.
