Weird military-looking light fixture
This was in a militaria collection and looks at least vaguely military, obviously a five-socket light fixture. I have no idea of the nationality or anything else, though the preponderance of the collection is Allied, so I hope this is the right place. Hope someone might know!
You're havin' a larf ain't 'cha....? That ain't a light fitting, anyone can see it's a hubcap off a Mercedes G4....

I'm so ignorant of both Mercedes G4s and light fittings that I can't even know if you're joking, but I can at least tell you I honestly thought it was some sort of light fixture. But if that's a comically dumb guess on my part, then I'll take whatever ribbing I've earned (especially if I find out what it actually is).
C'mon Ned anybody can see it's a light fitting from Guest House Paradiso, Mercedes my ar*e!...by big ned

A nice art deco ceiling light fixture...it must have looked magnificent when it was new and complete. I'm not seeing a military connection, though-unless maybe it was pulled out of a building by a GI and brought home...?

It looks similar to the type of chandelier fitted in the smoking salon of the Avro Lancaster come to think of it.

Was that for being Reich Beer Drinking Master? Or is it Reich Biggest Loser from when we put him on a diet in prison, and he started to get healthy?
