I like that. This is a shot of my burgeoning grenade collection. I'm going to work up a photo essay on the subject that I'll link to on the sidebar, rather than punish dial-up visitors. Most, not all, but most, of these grenades are from WWI, a fascinating era in grenades. Where you could find this, a Brit No 15, Mk 1, fuze lit by a match (Not Good, as the Brits found out at Loos), next to this, a No 5 Mk1, in the same trench.

I've got british, german, french, russian, and US cup grenades. I've got british, french, german, and US cup dischargers. On the bottom shelf, from the bottom up: Brit Lanchester (based on the Bergmann) German Erma MP Italian Beretta. Right rear is a Sten MkV. Hiding behind the stock of the Lanchester is a Sten Mk II with loop stock. There is a Sten Mk III right above the Erma stock. I also have a Mk II with T stock. I've got a PPSh 41, a Suomi M37, and a MAT49. Looking at getting a PPSh 43, mebbe a Vigneron, too. I'd like to get an M1A1 Thompson, but I think I'd rather spring for a shootable one, even if the barrel will be too long in a legal semi-auto. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2003/10/warning_exteme_danger_of_causing_nannystater_heads_to_explode.html#comment-67 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2003/10/warning_exteme_danger_of_causing_nannystater_heads_to_explode.html#comment-67 Thu, 02 Oct 2003 20:47:27 -0600 Like the old grenades. This is the first time I have seen the rifle grenades of WW1. Truthfully I did not think they had any. But the Bergmann(sic) on the bottom shelf I like. I have always liked the small sten's of WW2 and the other "tommy" guns. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2003/10/warning_exteme_danger_of_causing_nannystater_heads_to_explode.html#comment-65 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2003/10/warning_exteme_danger_of_causing_nannystater_heads_to_explode.html#comment-65 Thu, 02 Oct 2003 20:27:12 -0600
