Unknown Grenade Help Required Please

[Rich C]

Came across this grenade in an auction recently and need help identifying it please.
It was advertised as : " Unusual Continental Tin Grenade tin steel handle with lower steel belt hook. Tin box with removable lid. Internal removable tin with inert fuze. "
It is constructed from a very thin tin and appears to have been soldered together.
The are no markings at all except for the fuse which has some markings on the top ( a + in the middle and numbers or letters around it ), but very hard to read.
I'm hoping someone can help me with the identification please.
Hopefully the photos will help.
The last photo is for a size comparison

The construction looks like a Russion 1915 Stender Grenade

Thanks Keith :bigsmile:
That looks to be the one.
The only part missing from mine is the fragmentation sleeve which appears to fit between the charge and the outer skin of the grenade.
Probably not much chance of finding one now , but not too hard to replicate one from pictures found on the web.
Rich.

Yes, frag sleeve missing. You can adapt one from a M1912 or M1914-30.

I have few frag slaves for M1914 if you are intrested.

Hello! Happened to see Your topic. Maybe You are interested in links about this grenade.(https://military.wikireading.ru/38756 , http://coollib.com/b/252195/read )
I have a sample, not a complete set and in a disassembled state. Found in Korelia on the ground fighting the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939. We found a few grenades of the same sound. For some reason, the instances had a spring loaded firing pin, which is well inserted under the brass cap of the handle. I think there was an attempt to design improvements.
Provide pictures of the layout of this grenade.
Was glad to help with information.
