Here are some pictures of the Rifle Grenade Display I did this last weekend at the National Gun Day Show in Louisville, Ky. It was a lot of fun and I had a great time. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Hi again:
I only can say WOW. Very nice and complet display. Really nice. Are all the rifles in live condition?

Yes, all the rifles are fully functional. The display is still a work in progress (aren't they all) and my goal is to cover the complete period of US Military Rifle Grenade use from pre-WWI thru the Vietnam era. The problem is, I've managed to get most of the "Easy" stuff and now I have to find the rare stuff.

Ah, the hunt continues...................:neutral:
 
Buf, the "rare stuff" means a lot of money for only one piece. Always is the same... Really I envy the US collectors, here in Spain somebody with what you have in your table would go to the jail as fast as the light.
 
nice grenades. is that a super rare Babbit rifle grenade in the rifle on the first pic? if so, could you do a close op pic of it?:tinysmile_shy_t:
cheers, paul.
 
Paul,

I wish, unfortunately it is only a repo of a Babbit Grenade that I made up for display. I am still looking for an original Babbit if anyone knows where one might be..............:neutral:

Very impressive! What's your take on the 1903A3 vietnamese sung fung lu dan launchers? I was told by a reliable source that they were made state side and never issued, yet I have read that they were made in vietnam (brophy's book).

Take my reply for what it is worth because I just know what I've been told. My understanding is that the Modified M7's were in fact made in Vietnam but, Bill Ricca has also produced copies of these stateside.

A very handsome display is it all your collection? Below is some info on the VB-1. I had threee of them long ago but gave them to a buddy. Our EOD team found a pile of them in the middle of a lake.
Best Regards,
