ignitor.jpg Had this a long while and have no real interest in it but apart from thinking it is an igniter of some sort because it has a firing pin, takes a cap of some sort and a short tube that could take a combustable material, I have not a clue what its for. There are no markings I can see on it. Overall length is just under 49mm. Anyone seen one before and can tell me what it would screw into please.
 
Thanks gentlemen, now all I need is a bakerlite trip flare or someone who has one missing the igniter.
