WW1 Italian 86mm Thevenot Mortar Bomb?
Achtung Spitfire! posted a topic in De-activated and Antique Guns, Munitions and Fuzes
Just landed today. I've been told that it's a WW1 Italian 86mm Thevenot Mortar Bomb.I do know that there is other ordinance that also has that name. Can anyone tell me exactly what it is? Very much a relic but it's a survivor & hard to find I reckon so I'm pleased with it. Trawled the net for info but all I've been able to find is a single period photo of them next to the weapon which may be copyrighted so I won't post it. Any help with additional info would be appreciated.

Italian WW1 Grenades
Achtung Spitfire! posted a topic in De-activated and Antique Guns, Munitions and Fuzes
I have a few Italian WW1 grenades and this is probably my favourite the Benaglia Rifle Grenade. I had to work hard on the wings because they were pretty badly corroded but soaking them in white vinegar,wire wooling and a careful use of a drimmel bought them back nicely. Like anything Italian I think it has lots of style
