I got this from the local flea market. At first i thought this wooden made grenade is a wall decoration. But then i realize this thing it’s a bit like an instruction tools. Showing the inner side of the grenade. And there’s some emplacement for the other tools. From the shape of the grenade, it’s a mills bomb? :confused:










What do you think? Is the british army ever made this one? Or this thing is indonesian made?
Thank you.

I’m thrilled to finally own one of these bayonets! I unfortunately paid top dollar because I could never find a bargain. Seem to always be in demand. My first question is if the frog is original and the second question is, why would there be an original serial number scratched out then another one stamped beside it. Thanks as always guys!

Hello All,

Big Ned saved me from taking the big plunge on a bad eagle. Thanks again Ned! It didn’t take long for me to find the real deal (or at least I hope ). Here’s my first bird for everyone’s review. I’m not too sure what’s going on with the green paint, but I’m not touching it. I guess it gives this bird character.

I’m new to this site and am loving every minute on here! It’s a fantastic resource.
