Re: No 68 restoration project.
Hi Guy,
That will look the business when finished, i know how much work goes into restoring munitions. I restored a 1917, german grenatwerfer, from the somme a big mud block. It was a sod to dig out but came out ok in the end. still have it in the collection.
I will ask around for you, i think the best place to ask is the B.O.C.N,
British Ordnance collectors Network, they are great blokes and very helpfull. they would be the ones to put you right. I have been a member for ages, have a look in there it cant hurt to ask.
Regards dave.

Re: No 68 restoration project.
Hi Guy,
Thats good you are onto the B.O.C.N, it,s a good forum isnt it.
When i got my grenatwerefer, as i said it was in a right state
so dug it out of the crud, but the fins were nackered.
Once i had cleaned everything i had to make the new fins i did
this from some very old tin i had from an old uncle who passed on
his junk. I copied the fins and they fit loveley, and it came out a nice display piece. You can see the original fins, and how it was in the pic at the back.

Re: No 68 restoration project.
Hello Dave,
Thats a nice job. I dont even have the body to fit the fins to. Do you happen to know the larger thread size in the grenade base, I dont have a thread guage?
All best,
Guy.

Re: No 68 restoration project.
Hello Spotter,
Thanks for the great pic's. I would have liked to strip mine completely but can't remove the fin section as the fins are so fragile, but your pics show me the interior fine.
If you find a safety pin and tag anywhere could you let me know,
Many thanks,
Guy.
