J.Q.M.D. Posted July 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2022 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.

SubgunFun Posted September 2, 2022 Share #9 Posted September 2, 2022 Nice display, great layout. Is the next shelf down displaying beer/whiskey? That and grenades are a good combination. ;-) Link to comment
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted September 2, 2022 Share #10 Posted September 2, 2022 I wonder what face your house guests make when they see that for the first time! 🤣 Link to comment
