Can some one tell me where can I find a MK1 grenade replica (besides Parks Sabers) reasonably priced?

You can try ebay... but I've never had any luck with that particular item. You never know, though.

I havent seen them anywhere else (including eBay). obikenobi (a member here) made his own and it looks very good, you can try PM'ing him.
Why don't you want the Parks one?

you could try doing a search for WWII weapons reproductions, I found a few Broom handled mausers that way

I would say no. but were they cheap? A real MK1 is going to be expensive unless you find it at an antique show or something like that, forget Ebay for that search if you are price shy. I have heard they go for better than $500 because of how rare they actually are... Parks Grenades - I don't feel they are 100% accurate but they are darn close and a good price to boot. If all you want is a grenade, maybe someone can split a USK with you and then you can part the thing out...yes my bulk order is still going to happen, I just have to finish sorting some stuff out.... Roman's Grenade - probably the best you are going to find for the money, IMO. I own one and love it. It resides happily on my Clean Obi saber. I think I paid around $230 for mine, all aluminum with Black Anodized coating. Chen's Grenade - never saw one in person but I heard it was also very accurate to the real deal. Those are actually quite rare now since he doesn't make them any more and people that own one tend to not want to sell it. Ebay Grenades - I run across them on my saber searches, they are usually resin and pretty bad. Normally there is a lot of clean up work needed to make them look good. Price is usually $25 to $50 Hope this helps you with some options - I know a buddy of mine is selling both a Roman Obi Saber and a Parks Obi saber, if you want I can hook the 2 of you up to talk prices and such  Dave |

Why, I shall enlighten you (and anyone else) on this very subject.
The Parts of Star Wars website!
This will show you a tutorial on how the folks at Lucasfilm constructed props, plus........ a direct weblink to the suppliers involved for most everything you could ever dream up. Might even get ideas for another project.
