Hi all.
its been ages since i bought something new worth showing.
heres my latest find. a mint battye grenade with its original Nobel igniter which has answered a long running question as to why the wooden fuze plug has the upright wings. looks like it was just to protect the carboard fuze. Hope you all like it.
cheers, Paul.
