Hungarian 48M

Hi..
I have recently acquired a hungarian 48M stick grenade..I purchased under the impression it was a practice version, however when shaken it sounds as if there is sand inside..is this standard for a 48m practice ?
 
Kenny, In the first picture you see 48M with "trotil"
Second picture 48M with blue stripes I'm don't know if that means practice in Hungaria.


Regards
Chris

Thanks for reply Chris...yes mine does have traces of blue paint also..
 
I sectioned a practice 48m a while ago and it was sand filled..
Thanks for your reply.
Yes it does sound very much like sand when it is shaken..also there are traces of blue paint so I am assuming this indicates a practice model,as explained by Chris.
