Dummy Soviet grenade source?

A gentleman on another forum is wanting to clean up the pictured F-1 and was under the impression these were Chinese military issued dummies. Used to see both of these, the RGD and F-1, at every gun show and surplus store in the late 70's on. Somehow I remember them being made in the UK. Anyone know?

There are all sorts of sources. I even had some wooden replicas of Soviet grenades that were made for the 007 film Tomorrow Never Dies. These included the little butterfly mines as well as grenades. If they are metal I'd say they were made for the re-enactment market. There are quite a few retail traders in that line here.
