Nice ground dug find, a MG17 Flash Suppressor in relic condition.
Made by "Rheinmetall Borsig" in 1934, this suppressor would have been fitted to most Luftwaffe aircraft.
In this relic state, the pitting has taken hold..

After a good clean up and de-rusting, the damage the rust has done, becomes apparent.
Certainly no stamps or markings that I can see.
Well, after years of being in the ground?
I think it needed an easier job..
Now a nice little desk pen holder
Might paint it yet.. not sure.
Now painted..
Very nice end result! What did you use to paint it?
just ordinary gun metal paint in a little tin..
Every one should have one..
the paint sent it over the top. great job.
