Dirt Detective Posted March 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2020 I have been wanting to fill one of these for a while now and I lucked out and picked up this original box. All the spoons are EK and the same lot number, the box needs a little work in the back but Im happy to have it. Hope you guys like.

Dirt Detective Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted March 19, 2020 Wow. That's neat. I'm not a grenade guy - would those fuses be live? NO..thats why the shot with the spoons off....all inert...just cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybean Posted March 19, 2020 Share #7 Posted March 19, 2020 That is really cool. Surprised they did not get scattered to the 4 corners years ago. That first picture is cool as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thengr Posted March 19, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 19, 2020 Wow. That's neat. I'm not a grenade guy - would those fuses be live? During the war years were these shipped live like this? Or were they armed at their destination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverplate Posted March 24, 2020 Share #14 Posted March 24, 2020 I remember going to a huge gun/military show in Ontario when I lived in Rialto in the mid-80s. You could find almost anything there. Was that the Great Western show? That show was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could find almost anything there. Was that the Great Western show? That show was awesome! It was held at the L.A. county fairgrounds, it was twice a year..dealer set up was Thursday and ended Sunday..every building was used, at least 8 of them and they also had outside vendors.. there was nothing else like it..

Just wish I had gotten the correct credit for the photo (QuestMaster not quartermaster) Sorry Van...that was my mistake...if a MOD could change " Quartermaster" TO " Questmaster" that would be great. I know how you feel I see pics of my mines and grenade spoons all over the net with not a mention where they are from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
