blackjohn Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Thanks Corsair, that's wonderful. One of the subjects on my mail list for the last couple days has been grenades, and I think this will answer everyone's questions! Blackjohn ps - another topic of conversation lately has been Whydah muskets, what types were they, and what kind of side-plates have been found. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kass Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 The discussion of making safe grenades has been moved to its own thread so this thread can continue the discussion of historical grenades.
