Hello,

I thought that you might be interested in this item, a Boer hand grenade, with the following inscription around the circumference in silver.

Quote:

HAND GRENADE FOUND AT KOOMATI POORT, THE SAME AS USED BY THE BOERS AT THE SIEGE OF MAFEKING.

Unquote.

I'd be interested for your comments. Bought before the advent of the internet, when collecting was much more fun. I will try and load some photographs in due course.

Best regards,

TheBreaker02

djb Away Administrator Posts: 32465 Thank you received: 4883	TheBreaker, The issue was that the images were too large. I have resized them and attach them below. Best wishes David Dr David Biggins Attachments:
