Restoration of Stielhandgranate bung

Hi all.
Ive had the relic gren dated 1938 for a while and finally got round to restoring it.
The collar on top of the stick was to far gone but Jeeensey came to my rescue with a better one. The head needed a bit of body filler and a lot of sanding and re filling to get a good smooth finish then a coat of red paint finished it of. I made the paint look a bit worn on the high points for a better look.
Its taken a while but im very pleased with the results.
Hope you like it.
Cheers, Paul.
