Part of the tank or other vehicle? German or Russian
Hello,
I dug today in a Berlin forest in a ditch, on a tree.
At 20 cm depth, this rusty piece came out.
What's this? Military? Definitely a part of a tank?
The hole has a diameter of 8.5cm. For a sleeve?
Maybe an angle mirror?
All angle mirrors on the Internet are angular. On the angular side are 4 small holes to tighten. Behind the round hole is a second plate. In between came a glass. The color is light gray. Maybe from a Russian Panzerkampfwagen.
I look forward to your answers
Thanks
Might be from a tank, given the colour more likely from the interior, but for the life of me I cannot recognise it.
Interesting find. I hope someone can identify it.
without rust....
It can be everything. From the 80s a part of a device, everything.
I do not want to throw it away, I'm still waiting for 3 days ;-)
To me it looks like a headlight surround.
Greetings,
Similar to Anderson's theory, I believe it is a protective surround, but in this case for a military vehicle radio antenna aerial's base. The early ones possess insulators at their bases made of glass and this cover protects that area and too, the joint where the antenna sticks out from the side of the vehicle. Not sure which country yours is from, but the US still uses similar surrounds/guards on their vehicles today. Do a Google search on "Military antenna base covers/surrounds" and you will see very similarly shaped angled guards.
