Hi,
I'm Liam, I recently converted from US airborne to US engineers focusing on mine, trap and obstical clearance.

I picked up a stick grenade clamp that converts it into a tripwire explosive.

Would this have been grey or just bare metal in colour as its rusted and needs a clean up.

Regards

Liam

Nothing in the WW2 US TM's or FM's on Booby Traps, etc.?

The best I can dig out are black and white sketches.

Did they paint small pieces of equipment like this?
