My Modest Little Grenade Collection

[J.Q.M.D.]

I got back into collecting grenades last year and have managed to accumulate a modest little collection since then.  The ground dug Mk.II was the grenade that got me back into collecting.  It was found in a local dump that dates back to the 1920s.  The fuse was broken off inside the body, but I was able to track down a ground dug correct fuse to restore it with.  The Japanese grenade was also dug from a local dump.  Everything else was purchased from friends, shows or auctions.  Everything, with the exception of the M18 smoke grenade and the M34 tear gas grenade, is inert.  I actually have two of the M18 violet smoke grenades, but only enough room to display one of them.  I still need to find an original M67, so if anyone has a lead on one, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Great collection, love the cut back fuzes and the M10A2 spoon at the far right.  Congrats on a great collection.

Nice display, great layout.

Is the next shelf down displaying beer/whiskey? That and grenades are a good combination. ;-)

I wonder what face your house guests make when they see that for the first time! 🤣
