Hello,
Recently I bought this German practice hand grenade, WW1. I would like to restore it, so I have two questions for you.
1) As you can see, the head has been repainted with black over the original green color. What do you think, should I try to remove this black paint from the head and repaint it green?
2) I don’t have the striker (4), so I will have to make a new one. Does somebody have such a Hgr. in its own collection? If yes, it will be very nice if he can give me measures (or close pictures) of this striker. Thank you in advance!
