I'm halfway there! I got that grenade today! It's in pretty rough shape, the neck is actually bent slightly, and it's the whole brass piece so I don't think I can correct that. The body, too, has enough corrosion up top that I worry it will just flake off?
the brass and pineapple portions are in great shape though, even though the rod is like welded to its base. I may drill or tap out the weld (not screws) that holds the pin in place inside (which is also in great shape)
the he inside is covered in a solid rust color, should I be worried about that, will it eat through?
This is is so cool!
