Rick, if anyone breaks into your cave while you're in there you'd be spoilt for choice on which knife to use for defence...I would go for the Katana. :smiling2:

Hi Richard......"Never take a knife to a Gun fight"! :tongue-out3::tongue-out2::smiling3::thumb2: I can't remember where I heard that line, but it has always stayed with me.......seems to make sense if you have a choice in the matter. Rick H.

Thanks for checking on the headgear Tim.....I just wasn't getting it done and now you have gone and peaked my interest so will have to do some research. :thumb2: Rick H.

All these pictures of people's collections has prompted me to dig out my one piece.

This was given to me by my Grandfather when I was around seven years old. He had spent the war years serving in North Africa and Italy. Not sure if he brought this back with him. It's been in my custody now for over fifty years.....

Wow!
A '36 Grenade - often incorrectly called a 'Mills Grenade'! Happy days coaxing them out of the hands of nervous recruits on the throwing range! Are you
certain it's a training grenade? Unscrew the base plate and hope there's not a fuse assembly present! :tears-of-joy:

Nice souvenir......might have been one your Grandfather tossed himself in practice of course. Rick H.

:smiling3: it's always been devoid of internals since I've had it.... not sure if the markings on the base have any significance??

The most important question is this Nick.....do you still occasionally throw it up the garden and shout “boom”?

Rick mate, I think that line was from “Untouchables”, just before Connery gets killed!

That made me laugh Tim. When first given it, it seemed massive. These days it feels handily chuckable, but I reckon it could do a fair bit of damage even without blowing up! And I always was pretty rubbish at sports involving throwing something. I'd probably end up demolishing my workshop...

That one goes (from memory), “If he pulls out a knife, you pull out a gun. If he puts one of yours in hospital, you put one of his in the morgue.” IIRC it happens sometime before Sean Connery’s character gets killed, when he’s giving Kevin Costner’s character advice on how to take on the Mafia.

No Jakko, this line is later......it goes something like. “ain’t that typical of a thug, to bring a knife to a gun fight”.....then he follows the thug outside and gets killed by another thug with a Tommy gun.....

The base stamps show type (36 Mk 1), Date of manufacture ('40), and the manufacturers code) I think the Z is an acceptance office code - but not sure on that one! Pity you don't have the spring, striker, release handle and ring - would have made an ace paperweight!
