I shoulda gone with my gut, and google'd "grenade" because when I was describing it to someone, I said it had a crosshatch design, "like a grenade". dang it. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-42008 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-42008 Sat, 04 Mar 2006 22:08:10 -0600 Comment from OD on 2006-03-03 http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Base/1852/37mm.html You did lead us down the garden path somewhat with the 50mm bit. It's actually 40mm. If you enjoy watching me lose you should do these more often. It's good fun. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41953 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41953 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 20:55:23 -0600 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2006-03-03 I'll put up more pics tomorrow.

I should've hit refresh and I would have saved myself some time. I was looking at Russian and German rifle grenades, but I had the wrong war. The Djakonoff does have an adjustable base time fuze. I never knew there were such things on rifle grenades. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41950 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41950 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 20:18:46 -0600 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2006-03-03 Between the wars, Soviet, Owen.

I've spent hours looking at 47 mm shells, before I noticed that little square projection. And is that a dial below it? Base time fuze? Could it be some sort of primitive AA rocket head? I'd love to see a shot of the base. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41940 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41940 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 16:54:44 -0600 Comment from AFSister on 2006-03-03 I've been googling for about 30 min. or more now.... no luck.

The reason the Comment Nanny won't let him post it is because netf1rms.com is a *huge* hoster of spam generating websites. But it should be okay to visit this site. (At least, nothing horrible happened to me when I did it).
Scroll halfway down to the pic just above the entry titled Novelty Weapons. Look center of mass, then slightly right and slightly low.
To which I respond: Nope. One problem with it being an artillery round is that square projection a little left of center, right at the bottom of the engraved frag/grip area. Of course, that is something of a red herring, given what it *is*. But I like that *site*! ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41938 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41938 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 16:12:52 -0600 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2006-03-03 Sigh.

It's definitely *not* a Long Tom shell, but there were whole bunches of interesting tubes that were shrapnel spitters back then. Check your e-mail, cuz nanny doesn't like the link addy.

Ever mindful, of the Formicids, Blattids, and other tiny friends' sensibilities, The Euro-Weennies wouldn't advocate for their demise. Specially in such a violent and conflagratory way. If anything, they would lovingly control their population with Nature-friendly and Bio-comforting agents. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41923 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/since_owens_running_around_picking_fights_in_the_comments_today.html#comment-41923 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 14:45:41 -0600 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2006-03-03 Incomplete answer, SGT Jeff.
