Interesting improvisation - Thanks for that Millsbomber.

A few of you have seen this, but it is quite a nice uncommon item that should appeal!?

Cheers

Afraid not Glevum, but thanks for having a go - Item is WW2 German for a bit more help!

Cheers

That piece has some similarities with German sabotage clockwork delays :hmmmm2:

In any case it is a highly rare device.
 
Well done Hazord. Correct identification as a Mk 1 German Sabotage Timer. Over to you Sir!

Cheers

PS I will post a few more pictures for those interested later on when I get home.
 
I want to thank my friend Jack (Mad Bomber) RIP for sending me the document that shows that timer.

OK, give this a try.

Fins yes, German no. We would be looking for the designation of the item - "bomb +nationality" will not do.
