Unknown handgrenade

Everything is original, except match box.
I am not shore, that grenade is from 1WW or 2WW.
I am shore that is not home made.
 
Got me stumped. Maybe an experimental one? Done all the usual searches and I've not come up with anything close except Russian sticks. Where did you come across it?
 
Was spent some years for search some information, but nothing. From outside looks like something similar with 1WW russian grenade, but construction was unusual. Grenade impact, no time delay. Between stationary firing pin ( placed on top of grenade) and primer was small piece of glass plate.( or something looks like as glass) Was found stack with theese grenades in the wood,nothing other around, what can gives some idea about producer or user. Other grenades destroyed, only one left as model.No any signes for producer country. Found in Baltic states. Can be russian or any other country, which grenades can be found in Europe. Or why knows...
