  • Selma Arsenal Hand Grenade

    Gents-

    I thought this would be of interest to many. A relic dealer has a Selma Arsenal Hand Grenade on his website not for sale but for interest sake. The grenade was found in pieces by two different relic hunters many years apart which is amazing in itself. But the rarity of finding hand grenades on the Civil War battlefield is rather rare as well. I am attaching two links. One for the relic dealer and the other from another website with additional information on Civil War grenades.

    Relic Dealer; Should be first item on the page.
