An iconic item I've been wanting for a while is a MG42 muzzle - this was cheap as it was described as a M53 part - BUT, as can be sort of seen in the arrowed photo ( it was really hard to photograph ), there is a faint WaA stamping so I think this is indeed wartime.
The thread section has been squashed out of round and so is non-attachable & never able to be used in it's original or intended role - so as per the last photo, it now makes an innocuous and practical addition to my workdesk!!!!
