Nobody else bid so I got it for cheep! Now if someone would make a cast resin copy of the grenade launcher itself so collectors could at least have an inert display.

In a phone conversation, one of the big-time Italian collectors told me exactly FOUR of the launchers are in the country and have been de-watted. I can't vouch for that as I have never seen one. I'll have to ask around on the Italian milsurp site.

One of these may still be live in a military base museum somehwere, though.

Another obscure item for the spideys in my basement to play on! ;) :crzy: SW

Great find SW.
Congrats.
I'm still checking for Italian items but had no luck so far. :-(
I'll keep you posted though.


Met vriendelijke groet,

Flebay no longer wants my business. They don't allow postal money orders, so I no longer buy there. I refuse to use paypal. ebay is anti-gun so I am anti-ebay.:-x
