    Line Thrower

    Anyone else got a No4 Line thrower?
    Used to throw a line from one ship to another

    I handled a couple LT's, but I wasn't about to add sights for shooting and I passed on the sale of one. Had a couple of the copper washed rods for a while. Traded those off when I redid the china cabinet display. Got my first one of those from Warren.

    If memory serves, they were also used for launching lines across rivers and gullies. Thinking...swabbing the deck and getting hit by an errant rod. That could ruin someones day!

      I don't use my grenade launchers either, just part of the collection. Only have a drill round for the PIAT and some dummy rounds for the 2 inch mortar
