Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 All Munitions shown have been emptied by folks waaaaay crazier than me! There are no illegal substances in them.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 This one veeeers scarce, an incidiary/smoke grenade, or a Gas Grenade... I have not been able to find much on this....
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 The Model 1913 Kugelhandgranate and the 1915 n/A Kugelhandgranate which was easier to machine produce...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 On the Left there are the 1915 Model Diskushandgranate, it is of pressed steel as oposed to the cast 1913 model. On the right the 1917 Eierhandgranate, the ealier smooth one and the later "neuer Art" n/A or new version.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 The Case has 50 Egg grenades that were part of a hoard found in the Verdun area. They come 50 in a box plus fuses. All are empty.
jeeeensy Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Chris , A nice selection of Imperial Grenz there.. thanks for showing. Kind Regards Nick
dond Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Where were those hidden at? I don't remember seeing them.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Where were those hidden at? I don't remember seeing them. Hi,, which ones do you mean?
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 Am I the only one to like these??? :-)
Hoss Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Am I the only one to like these??? :-) Good heavens no Chris thanks for showing wish I had some to show. Eric
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Somebody has an egg grenade fetish! I always have 2 in my pocket and juggle them all the time ... ;-) A friend in France traded me a box of 50 plus some spares... ;-)
dond Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I love grenades. It is ironic that the average person equates the stick grenade as "the" German grenade.
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 I love grenades. It is ironic that the average person equates the stick grenade as "the" German grenade. Lets see some of yours :-)
Tony Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Am I the only one to like these??? :-) Oh you silly billy, of course you're not! If you ever want to unload one of your 1913 Kugelhandgranate please let me know. If I have the time I'll photograph my two or three tomorrow although you've already seen the egg. Tony
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 You have the nicest Egg I know!
dond Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Lets see some of yours :-) Don't really have much to show.....
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 What are the 2 shells on the left? Is that a pipe bomb back left?????
dond Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 The two large ones on the left are US WW1 75mm rounds. The one next to them is a Brit WW2 6 pder AT round. What pipebomb?
Kornel R. Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Am I the only one to like these??? :-) No , no , no !! I love them too . Unfortunately I have only here one M 17 stick hand grenade packed somewhere and probably close to 10 "EGGS" ( in Europe ) which I emptied /deactivated as a kid . Beautiful collection Chris my congratulations Kornel Edited December 9, 2013 by Kornel R.
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 Very nice indeed!! A fuse like that has eluded me for ages... bet you are happy you did not sell it back then!!!
