M2 flamethrower igniter

Got the gentle reminder(yellow banner of shame) that I haven't posted anything in a while. So. . .

Here is an M2 flamethrower igniter. Apparently fired but may have been demilled. There doesn't appear to be any burnt residue or melting, so am leaning to demilled. Anyway, here is an interesting video that shows the flamethrower in detail:

And here are pics of the igniter I picked up from one of our illustrious members here on BOCN at the last SLICS event.

Liked the part where Gun Jesus (that's what Ian is referred to here in the States) was using technical jargon saying, "You don't want it to fffffttt". Thanks for the video Rick.
