Anyone ID This?

[TRAP55]

Serial number and DWM is all that's on it. My best guess is some kind of tool for a German auto loader?

Do you know any other info on it?

DWM made a lot of other things besides firearms.

That's all I have on it, it's not mine, trying to help someone out that's as puzzled as I am as to what it is, and what it does.
I know before Loewe was absorbed by DWM, they produced tools of various types, but DWM only took over the firearms manufacturing as far as I know.
The best guesses I got so far, are about the same as I had. The sprocket like teeth lead me in the direction of the gas adjustment muzzle ring on something like one of the early versions of the G-41/G-43. But no luck finding anything to reference that so far.

it is not from a G41 or G43 - sorry.

For a brief heart beat, I got excited and thought it was the bayonet attachment from an FG42 - it isn't.



How cool would that have been if it was!!!!!!

Good luck,

Pit.
(FG42 Krieghoff not DWM)

Pit, I can see why, that's about the closest match I've seen so far.
I hope your heart skipped a couple of beats, as payback for making me drool all over my keyboard with those FG-42 pics!
That is sweet, is it a shooter?

[pitfighter]

The Fg42 in those pictures is a live war trophy, yes.
Not mine, although I was crass enough to make them an unaccepted offer for it.

I guess when your regiment tangles with fallschirmjaeger, you are entitled to keep a few souvenirs.
