My Small collection finally together

[VolksJager]

Thanks guys

Vegas is right, it's the outer shell to a 1915 disc grenade. One day I will sit down and mock up the internals.

I might snap off afew pics of the other shelves in a sec once I get out of bed, I reckon I have the glass cabinet layout right finally

Wow, I'd never heard of a disc grenade until now.

[Wagriff]

Me neither, Glenn. What a weird invention...a grenade that you basically had to throw like a Frisbee! Interesting!

[Glenn66]

I figured you'd throw it something like trying to skip a pebble over a pond?

[VolksJager]

Yeah I figured they though throwing a disc was easier than lobbing a stick grenade but at the end of the day they were not reliable and didnt last all that long. Would love to get it complete though, one day maybe....

Here are some updated pics of the room, Is I said I finally have the glass cabinet the way I want, with the addition of some small bits on some of the shelves and of course something on the bottom shelf (More helmets perhaps!) that part is done. The bigger shelf is good but I am not totally happy. More playing around and it will be right one day

Let's just hope it doesn't come back and blow up in your face

Also Volksjager, what is that battledamaged helmet in the last picture?

[VolksJager]

Vegar, Its a Japanese Type 90. There is now liner but evidence on blood damage to the inside. The other interesting thing about it, the bullet came from inside out

Your collection is looking great Jase, really nicely displayed mate.
