Hello dear collectors & ammo friends,
here is a dramatic looking pipe/air hole, that a friend of mine found on a flee market.
Diameter is about 9.4cm, hight is 13.3cm, Bore diameter at the top is 1.1cm. Material is light like aluminium.

Stamped: J.SCHWAHLEN SOLINGEN 1938; WaA52 (under eagle)

So my question: to what does this belong?

Thank you for response,

The company had the wartime code ghq according to one book I have it says they produced 'precision tools', (as reccetrooper has already said). No more details, certainly an interesting object.

regards Kev
 
Thank you for this help, I got in contact with the leader of that company.
May be they identify what this was suited for.
regards,
Andy
 
Yes, EOD you're right (bomb fuze forum)
