a riddle from Ukraine

[jhonni \]

Question for Paul Spence and other guy's from Great Britain!
This is "F-1" type grenade one of a number from Ukraine battlefields.
What do you think about this grenade?
Body is a French type, tube from Mk16... What is it? What is the name of this grenade?
(my friend have a few grenades, and it's not a single copy)
I think this is rare specimen....

Thaks!

Hi, thats a great looking fuze. I think youll find it was made by Edison & Swan United Electric Light Co. Ltd. I have no idea who made the F1 body or if this emergency grenade was given a designation. Very nice, thanks for sharing the photo's with us. Cheers

If these grenades find in divers places so it was especial lot of Edison & Swan company...

Whoa

Beautiful grenades to say the least. Would like to eventually find out the whole story on these. On another topic to restore or to not restore, I personally would not touch these because the patina in my opinion is sheer perfection..Dano
