m39 egg grenade pics needed

[Zeller]

hi, i need some picture of the egg grenade w/out transportation ring with original paint. i am restoring one very damaged shell and i need to match paint. i see that many were painted in metallic black but also tan and maybe feldgrau ?

Take a look at the search in the ordinace forum, I've seen the for sure

[Zeller]

yes Dim,kilroy was here posted some very nice eggs but i need to id correctly the colour:-)

[Dimas]

It is the same as the other german fieldgrey items

[Zeller]

are you sure? I found some which were clearly black

[RayG]

Here's mine. Has the ring but should be the same color as those that don't, Ray

[Zeller]

very nice! I would say that they are ...matt black finish?

[RayG]

Well I just checked how the photos came out and the color does not show correct. The real color is like a field green/gray. similar to the color of the German helmets. It almost matches color of early M38 FJ helmet I have. Ray

thanks Ray! I will try with RAL 6006 or otherwise I'll play around with Humbrol colours...

I have some parts of them, if you wish, I will send you one part as color example in december. But generally it's the same as a stick grenades and the ammo boxes, but really I found that they are all a bit different by color
