Has understood))) and to the Soviet mortars 50 and 82 you made ammunition? I saw your shells for 45 and 76.2 to the Soviet guns....
Excuse me for many questions... (((And what for did this grenade if already there were many ready shells for 47 mortars? I speak about granates M32...

Mortar shell based on M/32 egg grenade was intended for other mortar / rifle grenade launchers which were abandoned already before. The remaining shells were used as ordinary hand grenades afterwards.

Because M/41 mortars were made in very limited number I assume grenades were made in a small number as well - in the beginning.

B.T.W. If you consider selling your M/41 kindly send me a PM.

hello Reino and all! Here the grenade which promised to show. It right. It differs from usual ì32 geometry (not much) and corbels. Also at it a stopper. I think it very early case....

Very interesting one, I have not seen the right grenade type before, neither the bottom plug it has. As 47mm Mortars and rifle launchers were more experimental than in use this may be an early version as you suggest.
The left grenade has a typical bottom plug that also screws in mortar tail.
