Unusual Chinese Stick Grenade

[Trenchwarfare]

Hi guys, been a while. Has anyone ever seen such a grenade as this? I haven't. I felt it was just too strange, to be fake. Frag part of the head, is 2"x2". Overall, 3 1/8". Handle is 5 3/4" long, 1" across. Sourced directly from China. Given the vastness of China, and the multitudes of manufacturers, anything is possibly. I've started collecting Chinese homegrown pistols... Wow! The variety is endless. Let me know what youse guys think.

Nice find, I've never seen one like it, its a amazing grenade.

Thanks xP. I figured the handle was a replacement, but now, I don't think so. It has the look and smell I've learned to look for. Same seller has two others, with handles in worse condition. China is a vast treasure trove of weaponry. Even after the mandatory smelting efforts, when the Communist took over.

Real ! From '20-'30 (difficult to date); long march war.

Thanks Francesco. I was pretty sure it is real. Nice to have confirmation. Is there any information, where this image came from? Somewhere in the back of my mind, is an image of a soldier throwing a lollypop looking grenade. It may even be a toy soldier.

I thought that the Long March was after 1930, taking place mostly in 34-35?

Apparently, there's very little interest in Chinese grenades?

I'm very interested in Chinese grenades, and I would like to see the other examples of this grenade the seller has. How can I get in touch with him?
