Picked up these 2 goodies at local gunshow last Sunday and wanted to share the picture.

to left : russian RGD 41
to right : german behelfhandgranat with top in concrete

 

[Tmine35]

As far as I understand the one on left is RGD-33. RGD-41 has different handle.

That looks like a sectioned German concrete stick grenade. That is nice.

It's not sectioned. Stick is made of flat board with a groove to adopt charge and fuze and has 2 U-shaped nails to hold the pull wire and porcelain ball on place. This item was extremely well preserved in mud in a lake bottom. It was recovered sometimes in early 1970's. Everything is original except the replica Bohrpatrone charge and linen pull cord.
