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

Was thinking the same. Defo not calling anyone a liar when I say that, just went looking and found nothing.
Would be nice to know some other sites to add to the list is all.
I have seen a few go recently but only for like double that price

Some updated pics of my Obi as I’ve only posted my progress over on FB.

Recently refinished my Hales, was covered in original orange paint.

Vintage Hales
Vintage male BP awaiting conversion
Vintage Folmer clamp
Vintage Marconi Dats
Vintage aircraft washer
Vintage NOS AS handwheel (cold)
Vintage frosted/all round bubble (not yet cut/fitted, currently have a wannawanga installed)
Romans weathered booster, still searching the wild for the real thing!

Enjoy

And a pic before I refinished the grenade for posterity

I can whole heartedly recommend ScottJua he has just finished mine and did a top notch job. Mine is the one on the right with a female left for comparison.
