Is this RGD 2db smoke grenade Russian,Polish or some other country as all print is in English. Stencilled RGD - 2db 0459H 6 04 twice on the body.
The fired grenade looks like a modern tail has been added for rifle firing as it is excellent condition where the steel holder part is quite rusty.
There are 6x6mm holes for smoke escape. There is a 2mm hole in the base to possibly ignite the grenade.

Dimensions are: Tail is 175mm long. Overall length is 395mm. Grenade is 53mm body diameter with cloth loop at the top. 20mm internal diameter for the launcher .

The tail has 1P-81-118 DGN stamped on it plus A9Z in one of the spanner slots.

Nice Polish piece. I've had the carrier for years but have never found the smoke portion.
