Pauke!...98k Grenade Launcher and......

Pauke!,
You inspired me to dig out this old piece of junk and share it.
You've got to pick one up. They are neat items and you can collect the different rounds for it. Some are hard to find.

Uncle Bill, we need to do a display of these at the next show. Between the two of us we should have all the rounds ....all we need is some cold beer

Very nice. I'm going to have to get one of those when I get home.
Is the TM an original? Those are hard to come by too.
Thanks for sharing, and a nice photo,

Johnnie,
Yes the manual is part of a two volume set and is original.
Thanks for the comments.

Grenade Launcher

Pauke:
I have been wanting one of those for a long time, about ten years ago I was at a show here and a guy had several of them complete launchers, but no wrench or case, or sight, he was asking $35.00 apiece, I passed it up!!
I recently obtained an anti personnel (The yellow one) grenade in the issue cardboard container with a blank packaged with it, the container is sort of oval shaped and about 5 inches long and the blank (deactivated) fits neatly along side the grenade, with a top cardboard lid sliped over it. Have you ever seen one of these? It was picked up in Russia and the guy had a dozen of them. All the mechanism, bore safe parts are there, no pull string on the bottom.
The blank cartridge has a small hole at the top and is crimped. It seems like there was a tiny wooden ball inside that you can rattle around, not the type of blank I was used to seeing with a wooden bullet shaped tip.

Goepop,
I've seen the round and container that you are refering to. Bill has one and if he reads this he may post a photo.
That's a nice item to have.....congratulations.
