    Well Miguel, unfortunately I have not much details about these. In a Finnish WW2 manuals I can only see that we captured these in White, Red, Green, Yellow color star and Smoke. All shells are black with bottom color corresponding to star color, and smoke shell with nose painted red.
    Further they all have different notches on bottom to identify in dark. Length 140mm OA.
    They all were fired with blank cartridges unlike Diakonov HE-grenades.
    There also was a shorter version of at least white star shell with 83mm length OA.

    I paid 120 Euros for mine and it was a bargain from seller. This was the first one I have seen for sale - he had a few similar more though.

    That price is not expensive, Reino, for what usually have to pay for rare items.
    Best Regards.

    It depends, one may think this just a piece of cardboard and wood - no shiny brass.
