What is it?

Found on a battlefield in the South of France. I suspect it is German, but what?

Cheers, Ade.

This is the vehicle's fuel tank cork

Hi Dimas, that is a good guess, but I don't think it is correct?

I should have mentioned that the cap is only 50mm in diameter and I also found 5 of them all in the same location.

Cheers, Ade.

I'm sure I saw it somewhere. I have to look through my boxes of unidentified scrap finds in the garage. From the rivets, I would also say it's german though.

I have absolutely the same in shape but soviet, in small cannister for fuel, about 50 liter tank, which I use for keeping fuel

Probably this is the same...

Looks like a radiator cap to me...

Thanks for all the comments guys. It is a bit of a puzzle. The odd thing was finding 5 of them all together?

Cheers, Ade.

Supply Co. perhaps?

Nah.....I tell you what it looks like to me but you're not gonna like it.

...............

...it looks the cap from the end of a flourescent tube. Or possibly the base from a battery compartment of some kind.

Just my thoughts....
