Visual Details: Cast in a solid Tan (Sand) color, this accessory accurately replicates a vintage stick-style hand grenade. The lower portion features a cylindrical warhead with a distinct diamond-patterned (knurled) texture. Above the warhead is a long, smooth handle specifically scaled for a minifigure’s hand to grip securely. Attached to the side of the handle is a sculpted safety lever (spoon/clip) detail, characteristic of this specific grenade type.
Background: Based on its distinct shape and the provided file name, this accessory models the Russian Model 1914 (M1914) hand grenade. Designed by Vladimir Rdultovsky, it was the standard-issue fragmentation grenade for the Imperial Russian Army during World War I and saw continued, extensive use by the Soviet Red Army during World War II. The textured diamond pattern on the lower cylinder of this accessory replicates the heavy steel fragmentation sleeve that was often slipped over the grenade for defensive use to generate more deadly shrapnel. The Tan (Sand) color of this specific accessory makes it an excellent piece for desert warfare dioramas, such as the North African Campaign, or for representing a generic wooden-handled explosive in custom historical building block scenes.
