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
- Thread starter batonroundcollector
- Start date
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?
