I don't have any trenchart right now ( I passed on two 40mm shell lamps I saw at a swap meet a long time ago, DUH ) but here is a site that shows lamps, lighters, kitchen utensiils, etc. made from ordnance parts made in Germany post war:

Here are some items made from panzerfaust parts offered on ebay and ebay.de a while ago.

That last lamp. Please put me on the potential buyer list.

And a relatively new addition (from the Huntsville run). Gotta get a lampshade.

Lamps, started as MKll projectiles on good 37x92 cases, Now MKlls on unmarked 37x136 cases - 18pdr. one of the best I have seen, plating still good, nice base, inscribed ID plate. Came without a shade so I fitted it with a glass shade under an abused empty helmet shell ( it has to be repainted) and it works nicely. There are so many on these over here that it's no wonder there was a shell shortage. Most are on crappy bases and in poor health-

Gruesome Gruson ; found as a Cigar Nipper on top of a 75mm projectile base as an ashtray. Had a Canadian general service collar dog stuck on it also ~

Because the tops of these have a wide hole and are very blunt it didn't loose any height in the conversion (regular 1 prs do loose height when the fuze well is widened for the cutter) so a repro solid brass fuze was made and fitted and the hole filled. Almost good as new. I have these lamps,
