I have this grenade in my collection, think it is a Finnish post war grenade using old stock of 24 heads.
Maybe someone have more info about this model.

Excellent grenade you have rottenfuhrer, I for sure think it is Finnish post war grenade, but do not know the model designation/number, it's very interesting, I like it......the fuze is a Finnish SYT-55, with a special adapter that looks plastic made to fit German M24 heads.....The Germans made a similar special adapter for use with M24's to be used with any standard 10mm fuze such as ZZ-42, ZZ-35 etc. as a boobytrap or small A/P mine, or even could be used as hand grenade without stick with BZE-39, but think they were not used for grenades too often. The adapters were mostly used for boobytraps I believe.
Here is a picture of an F1 grenade I have with same SYT-55 fuze installed (you can also see this grenade in upper right corner of photo of my F1 collection)....the body is for sure a Russian WW2 F1 body, and it has been re-threaded to accept the Finnish SYT-55 fuze that has very fine threads.
I showed this "Finnish" F1 grenade before here a long time ago, and most members had never seen one, and did not know what it was, or believe it was an actual grenade used by the Finnish, maybe just a cobbled together grenade for collector market....the markings/date on my fuze is "J1/60 which I think would be 1960 date. The handle on my fuze is painted yellow which I was told means it was a practice fuze.
Maybe member Tmine35 Reino can tell us more about your grenade and refresh my memory about the F1 grenade...........
I think if the Finns used old stock German M24 heads at this late date in 1964 as yours looks to be dated, then they very well could have also used surplus captured Russian WW2 grenade bodies in 1960 also...but I may be wrong, Reino and other Finnish collectors will correct me if so......
crazy Finns.......:tinysmile_tongue_t: (just joking Reino) although they eat "elk nose jelly" in Finland
