It looks to be a WWII era 1911 trigger. Early ones were milled steel, the later ones were stamped steel.sigpic Same boy, better toysComment

Looks to me like a G.I. armorers replacement trigger for an Ithaca 1911 circa 1944. The original handgun would have had a serial number in the range of 1816642-1890503, I would guess 1884923. It was probably removed from a battle field pick up and kept as a souvenir by a Nazi during the war. When the war ended, the former Nazi soldier sold his souvenir so that he could afford to relocate his family to Croatia, escaping the embarrassment of being part of the loosing military. The trigger however was then, years later, found in a bin of battle field souvenirs and mailed to the shop owners friend.The friend was named Kenneth T. Armsworth who lived in Bolder Colorado and just happened to need a trigger for a Colt 1911 he had just purchased. The trigger was sadly lost in the mail due to a mislabeled street address. I would assume you received this trigger from a friend or family member that randomly found this in their mail. You being the "gun guy" amongst your friends and family, it only makes scene that it would be passed off to you. If I was in your position, having a real piece of history with such an incredible story, I would mount it in a hermetically sealed display case so future generations could be as humbled as I am just seeing it in your photo.
Actually though, I have no clue what that trigger goes to. Definitely not from an AK, I do know that.
