Unknown Stickhand grenade

[Voff_Kin]

Hello Ordnance Collectors.
We found (in Estonia) this rusty item what looks to me as an old stickhand grenade. Wooden handle part is missing, but I never seen metal tube inside the wooden handle and never seen metal chain instead cord. By dimensions, it looks like a regular (standard) stickhand grenade. Also..Why there is a fuze well on the head if there is a pull type friction igniter in the stick (with metal chain)? Has anyone ever seen something like this before and can tell me what kind of grenade it is? I would be very grateful.

It looks very much like an exercise grenade, which would explain the replacement of the rope by a chain because of repeated use.
The hole at the top and the longitudinal tube probably received a spotting charge.
I don't find traces of so a Übungsgranate ! More info should be great.
