Thought I'd share a few new additions to the collection over the last month.
A really cool French OF1 w/Brilliant Fuse Mle1916. It retains a lot of the original blue/grey paint.
Next is a French 3rd. Army Petard Raquette grenade, also from the Great War.
Also a couple of matched M24's. Both stielhandgranates are stamped "42evy" on the handles & cans.
On the more recent side, a East German (Soviet) RKG-3 anti-tank grenade. This RKG-3EM was made for export as the instructions on the side are in English. These Cold War grenades deploy a "parachute" of sorts out the bottom of handle to insure the shaped charge opposite end contacts air first, initiating blast into target. The cutaways in these are SUPER cool!
