More historic grenade stuff

THANKS JEFF! Those are the first official pictures I have seen of the M10 and M13 grenades. Neat stuff! Pat
 
I've been told that this group of photos and data - the 24lb box - is about 1/3rd of what this gentleman has. He is waiting for me to finish my scans and return box one before sending more - who knows......
I have one photo that is my favorite, of a travelling grenade display board - what would be the ultimate collector's find in some dusty garage someplace, just waiting to be found. I'll try and post it when I get home tonight, but I've got another group of visitors coming in for a couple of days, may be a bit before I can find time.
 
I think that this is my favorite picture out of the entire box. As I mentioned above I like to think that this travelling display board is still intact, sitting cool and dry in a garage somewhere, covered in dust with a little old lady trying to decide who she can get to haul it off for her -

Let me see if I can provide a better view, within the limits of the sites capabilities for photos.

Francesco got it - on the first board, second row center is not a grenade, it is a WWII Italian submunition - for some of us even more desirable that the grenades around it. I wonder how many of these pieces still survive today.
