Are these the same model/are both designations correct?
Only seen the Kolesh name on quickfireauctions listings...

Koveshnikov Vs 'Kolesh' fuze for Russian F1 grenade

What is it "Kolesh"???
Maybe you mean "Kovesh"? If yes, then you should know - it`s just jargon. Only short name just for speaking, because Koveshnikov had long second name

Thanks - I guess seller got spelling wrong
I would like a WW2 F1 with this fuze for my collection... There are a couple listed on quickfireauctions - do these examples look ok (all complete and with correct parts etc)?

Simon's look like complete Koveshnikov ( I'm with Ivashkin on the unknown "Kovesh") fuzed grenade to me. Pictured is my own F1 that I believe to be original, except of course the pull ring as you can see. I'd like to hear from others myself though.Lex's site link

seller 'frogon' has a couple listed also... the transport plugs shown with these look like the ones I have with my post-WW2 F1s that have UZRGM fuze so not sure if they are original to the grenades for sale?
anyone know another source for an inert WW2 F1?
