Hi Nick,,why the two differnt types of containers for these grenades metal and wood,,are the metal ones for field use and the wood factory use or is it just a variant in packaging with no end user difference

Hi Alan,, As war went on the raw material ( steel ) was harder to find to make metal racks and boxes for transportation so wood was used,, but wooden items are harder to find as after the end of the war it was all burnt to keep the home fires burning and also to build with.
