Found recently on old WWii range

[3pinplug]

Hallo everyone,
Found this on an abandoned wwii range recently, anyone know what it is. There was a little square tab at the top in the center but is has fallen off.
Any help will be much appreciated, really puzzled on this one. Photo of item attached.
Thanks
Mark

I hope you the best of lucks, I have no idea of what it can be.

My first instinct is that it is a part of a STEN magazine.

It's an unidentified piece of metal. I have found thousands of such in different forms from various WW2 sites:bigsmile:

Your knowledge is fantastic, thank you very much!
Have looked at the photos of some Sten Magazines and the hole / tab are in exactly the right place.
