Saw yesterday a couple of reasonable grenades were snapped up at auction around the £800 mark. Have always said you can get these at a reasonable price if you go looking.
Got a link? Would love to see the lot that was auctioned off
cheers

I’m not sure what Scott uses, but on my balance pipe bearing I used Mantis bubbling rust paint and then blackened it with a satin blackWith these converted males - how are people going about 'blackening' the inner rings and adding weathering?
