Picked this relic grenade up at the Victory Show at the weekend. Labelled "found in Courland" ...yes I'm sure

Is there any way of dating these please?

Thanks

From what little I know about these, they were date-marked with an ink stamp. As it's a relic, that stamp will be long gone. They were produced from 1933 to around 1942, which is as close to a specific date of manufacture as you're going to get, unfortunately.

Some factories stamped their code and year in a four sided stamp on the top or handle of the grenade as seen here: ''РСЗ 41''. Your example is too far gone to tell anything.
