Keep hunting you’ve got the luck.   I love grenades.

Oh Yeah!  Just the fuse could bring $75.

Awesome insight. Thank you for the information.  you never know what you’ll find at a flea market. $10 well spent I hope! 

very nice, well done

The 1860 Lorenz percussion rifle is marked on the stock OHIO Co H.   The photo album is from a CB who went in to Normandy on D-Day plus one.    

The glider was never removed from the airborne cap patch. This patch was used right up to the time the overseas cap was replaced by the beret.

Thanks for posting your Practice Frag Grenade. You have a late WW2 Mk. II, with a nice M10A3 fuse. Notice the "half moon" Striker Hinge Pin. This fuze dates to the mid-1944 time frame. No reason to assume any other period for the grenade body as well. Besides the blue color denoting a practice grenade, the opening on the bottom of your grenade is larger than the standard threaded 9/16" hole, which would be the configuration for a grenade meant to contain an explosive load. This bottom opening for a grenade receiving a lethal load would be the same size as the threaded opening that receives the fuze.   Practice grenades had a cork inserted in the opening.  These grenades would contain a non-lethal amount of black gun powder meant to go off producing a puff of black smoke when used in training.          

Just bought this local.off the granddaughter of the veteran.he was pilot ww2 and later flew united airways. Jacket tailored by Wendel and Goldstein. 

Thank you for your attention to this post, and thank you for your additional information, so the big P with the two ++ are additional replays in bags of powder, so more

Ah, okay, thank you. Can we wire the FF-63 to our PBX? I notice the connections look like mic jacks. But by any chance, can the LA and LB terminals on the FF-63M take wires too? Or, will we have to custom make a mic jack plug?
