Hello guys again...
It's my F1 body grenade from Karelija (not Russians body).
Plug in bottom very strange - without nick.
Have anybody opinion whose this grenade?
Thanks...
Eugene.
Hi Steve!
Somewhere I saw already the such plug, it is probable at your photo.
In Russia such plugs I did not see. If material lead on your plug i think the body grenade possibly since period WW1.
p.s.
My plug on F1 is from the steel.

Hi:
Here in the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 only can find Russian F1 with plug at the bottom, only in the last months of the war you can find flat base new model.
With the solid body grenades made in Russia after 1939 year. But we had a many bodies from WW1 period, foreign grenades..etc..
