What are you talking about work, if we celebrate Christmas today? :tinysmile_tongue_t:
It is Polish grenade and name wz.57, it is Polish index, definetely not Soviet. I haven`t found more information about this grenade, but probably our polish frinds from web-site can help :)
 
Good evening,

I assumed it was russian since in the same book you can also find the RPG43 and the RPG6 named wz.43 and wz.6.
There is also a polish wikipedia page saying it's russian https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granat_RPG-57
I'm not saying that Wikipedia holds the truth.

Merry Christmas then !

Regards,

S.
