Re: Need an experts opinion
I think it is an electrical bonding strap.
Similar woven wire straps are found on most WW2 vehicles to prevent radio interference.
Cheers, Ade.

A bonding strap :-)
Well this is very cool. I found out what this could be, I've learnt how this part is called in English (although this part still could be more recent than WW2)...
But, there is a good chance some kind of vehicle was either repaired on that spot or maybe blown apart, some 70 years ago...
Thanks for the prompt responses.

Re: Need an experts opinion
Exactly what Ade has said.
These were placed all over a vehicle to 'bond' certain parts together
to prevent unwanted static sometimes heard through
radio equipment.
Not sure what country this came from. Typical U.S. bond straps are
usually of one piece with connections at either end..........
Regards, Steve.

Re: Need an experts opinion
Thanks again guys.
I've done a little checking of my own now.
So, if this was a german part it was called "Masseverbinderband" or (newer version) "Masseband".
I like the "wear plate" explanation, I had something simmilar on my mind since all pictures I could find didn't show that feature, only the ends to be bolted down.
About it's origin... well all I have to do now is to look inside all antique ww2 vehicles driving around to see out of which one this may have come from, hahaha.

I like the "Lightning Conductor" idea, definately some sort of earth bonding, especially with the copper crimp.
