Some misterious objects.

This is a common pipe some years ago here in Italy but it came from a german trench. Someone have photo of soldiers with a pipe like this?


Fragment of alluminium with feldgrau colour. Some idea?


From a german trench. Some idea about electric tool use them?


Fragment of a mg42?


Fragment of a mine?




Thanks for help!

I not think because pipe like thus were produced in Italy until 1960-70.

Hi Matteo,

The items in the third picture look like the plate of a lead acid battery.

That "fragment of a mg42" looks an awful lot like a spark plug to me! But maybe I am wrong...

Photo #3: Lead plates from a battery.

Photo #4: Automotive spark-plug. (No idea what it could have been fitted to).

I think the "Fragment of an MG42" is the buffer assembly from an MG34. I'll have to look at mine when I get home.

[Chuckd]

Well, I was wrong. It's not the buffer assembly from the MG34. It's the buffer assembly AND part of the stock fitting from the MG34.
