Unknown Ordnance Cutaway

[siegfreid]

I'm told this may be a piece of sectioned ordnance . The main body is alloy & measures 22cm x 11cm . Any clues appreciated . Thanks , Siegfreid .

The "nipple" looks very similar to a common quick connect air line fitting. Which may make that piece some sort of system accumulator. Which may or may not be ordnance related.

I was about to say the same thing as I have such connectors in the workshop.

Good Evening

I think that your item may be a South African training replica of the Soviet SPM Limpet Mine, allegedly! See - http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/8969...MINE_REPLICA_SADF_TRAINING_AID_ALUMINIUM.html

Hope this helps
