Glass grenade, possible Russian

Does anyone recognize this? It is supposed to be a Russian Chemical AT grenade, similar to the Blendkorper. Any information would be very helpful. Thanks.

This is a Russian substitute Mine from the beginning of the war.
It is no Grenade.

I think this is russian analog of german "BLENDKORPER"...
About "... beginning of the war..." my i dig in Kanev bridghead this is not a beginning of war .

Well, what was produced stayed in stock as long as it was not used up, some items even till 1945 (no matter what).
What I said is not a guess. It is was published allready in Russian military and gun magazines. So it is definately not a Blendkoerper.
Russian "molotov cocktails" looked different and used as embedded lightening component white phosphorous and were "one chamber" systems which were just the bottle with a lighter shielding liquid on top of the incendiary mix to devide it from the air bubble inside the bottle.

Die Bezeichnung kann so nicht stimmen weil das D in der Bezeichnung fuer "Holz" steht (die PMD-6 ist hier sicher einigen bekannt, eine Materialaenderung haette demzufolge vor der Zahl auftauchen muessen und hatte z.B. "PMS-6" sein koennen). Da wollte sicher einer schlau sein und dem Kind einen Namen geben, in der russischen Fachliteratur ist die Mine bisher unbenannt.

Yes, mr. X - rights it useed as a tight case for saltpeter explosive
in PMD-6F mine... but I think sometimes ito use separately as selfe-made granate.
