Hi,
I am looking for info on a handgrenade found in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
There are three grenades which look the same.
1st Egyptian Kahu No 1 found here: https://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/middleeastasia/egypt/no1offensive.html
2nd Bosnian Vitežanka found here: https://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/sovietbalkan/bosniaherzegovina/viteanka.html
3rd Croatian RB nova.

The BiH EOD collegues identified the grenade as egyptian and I have no reason to question their info.
I am more interested in the relationship between the grenades, licence, copy, sale (that would be ilegal in the time of war).
The fuze looks like the Glock here: https://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/austria/hdgr81.html

On the picture is the grenade together with the smaller RB M93

Thanks, Bob
