Still no luck with this one.
I can offer the following:
This igniter was a production item, rather than a one off, as I have seen multiple boxes of them together.
They were packed in unmarked cartons containing ten igniters, with a separate waxed paper envelope for the shear wires.
They are massively over engineeered for their purpose, and probably used a shotgun style cap for ignition.
Probably recovered in the Benelux countries.
Anecdotally, and only hearsay originate from NATO Stay Behind provisions in Europe.
A few more pictures for you.
Look forwards to finding out more.
Cheers

All Safe and F.F.E.
