Russian Stender Grenade


Recommended Posts

Here is a WW1 era Russian grenade, the M1914 Stender, named after a Russian Colonel named Stender supposedly. There is not much on the history of this grenade. However, it is made from sheet metal and soldered into place, it has a hollow metal tube handle which held the fuse. The explosive head portion had a detachable cap to allow for filling of the explosive, this cap was held in place by two metal prongs (broken off on this model). The handle also has a metal clip to attach to a belt or gear.

Nice grenade Gildwiller 1918.

Got this rare gem on route to me in the post.

As I understand it it was designed by Colonel Stender and is known as a Hexagonal grenade I'm lead to believe. Just missing the fuse cover at the bottom of the stick unlike yours which is present. I'll probably add the pull chord and wooden toggle to add some detail. As far as I know the stick is original.IMG-20200709-WA0014.thumb.jpg.236b977fb8ef0e532a04e769abd64d2b.jpg

Yes, you are correct, this grenade and several others were supposedly developed by Colonel Stender. However not much else is known about these grenades, their manufacture process or how many were made.

Very nice! Looks all complete as well, the belt clip is usually missing from these. These were also used by the Allied forces in Russia as well.
