Hauptmann Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looks like an Armorers chest I used to have for British Enfield rifles from WWI. Sadly none of the parts, just the chest and ended up selling it off a few years before we moved. Was a nice heavy wooden chest with compartments inside for the various repair/replacement parts for said rifles. I can't clearly see the markings but the one on the front lower corner looks German, and knowing your love of German MG's I'm assuming it's such a chest for a German MG from WWI. Least that's my best guess. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Chris, A box for shipping stick grenades? Perhaps it is too short for that but that's my guess. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Eierhandgranaten I can see what looks like Handgrenaten on the lid. Hardy, is that Eierhgr. stamped on the front right corner? If so, I still have a very nice example. Do you remember looking at that one Chris? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Tony, yes I do. Still checking my mail box every now and then..... :-) But yes, Egg grenades. Stick grenade boxes are pretty easty to find, the egg ones difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 it takes 2 trays of 25. So I have the grenades.... on the right size should be little boxes with fuses.... I need to find them now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Very impressive Chris. Thanks for showing it to us. Almost as nice as a medal. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Liontas Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Damn that is nice!! Chris, how did they distribute the different kinds of grenades? Everyone knows the classic "potato masher" but more and more often I read about WWI German egg grenades. Was it a case of you used what you had? Were stick grenades used more for assult, since their blast radius was smaller?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 it takes 2 trays of 25. So I have the grenades.... on the right size should be little boxes with fuses.... I need to find them now.... Every home should have one! Lovely, but what does it weigh with all that scrap iron in it? :cheeky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Do you have the silver screw on lids? Why didn't I buy them all back then instead of just one? I could kick myself. If you're lucky you might see some at the show over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
