What kind of part it this?

Yet another oddity I found while cleaning out my father-in-laws estate. I tried to research the stamps but came up empty handed. Any ideas? Attachment 43550 Attachment 43549 Attachment 43548 Attachment 43547

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Well, definitely some sort of swivel mount...can we get some scale in the photo?

At first I thought it was a pintle of sorts. Here is another picture to give you a better idea on the size.

Hi, be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you have there is a part of a german landmine fuse called "Minenzünder DM 19", as fare as I can see the detonator is still there, part of the trigger is missing. It was used for the antipersonell mine "Schützenmine DM 31" in the West German icon

Army (Bundeswehr), now obsolete. Have it checked by an expert if it is save.

Well, at least its not a nucular detonator..!!!!!

Good Afternoon Landy,
.
I appreciate the help. I had an uncle fill me in about it last night and yes, it is inert and safe thank goodness. The inside is completely hollow. From what I was told, it was nothing more than a replica of sorts he had picked up years ago at a flea market. At least that mystery is solved but I do appreciate the help.

For anyone interested, this is what the inside looks like. The top simply screws off.

lol. At this point in time, I think I'll stop going through the father-in-laws house.

No way would I stop looking thru the house. I'd be eagerly anticipating what other neat little goodies I might find!
