The Italian Benaglia Rifle grenade, a rod-grenade used against the Austro-Hungarians and Germans in WWI. This example is battlefield recovered from the high alpine battlefields, which is one reason it's in such good shape. Ya know what it really is? An excuse. After all, I've got an Italian rod-grenade. But no Italian rifle to display it with. Therefore, a WWI Italian rifle must be acquired, or this will simply be... lacking, bereft, incomplete. And we can't have that.

There have been other budget priorities - like funding the Arms Room construction... Not too mention the 80 acre lot it sits on! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/okay_lets_answe_1.html#comment-64924 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/okay_lets_answe_1.html#comment-64924 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:24:54 -0600 You and your surprise-on-a-sticks.

A couple years ago Mrs Pogue accidentally purchased 20 ga shotgun shells instead of 12 ga... The next week she picked up an 870 in 20 gauge. (Returning ammo to Walmart is just such a hassle!) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/okay_lets_answe_1.html#comment-64909 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/okay_lets_answe_1.html#comment-64909 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 11:24:10 -0600 dang, and i was so close to solving it. so whatever happened to the other reference book? was the previous wrong answer indicated? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/okay_lets_answe_1.html#comment-64908 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/okay_lets_answe_1.html#comment-64908 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:46:49 -0600
