Hi Tony
I have seen these before - many years ago.
They are trip or disturbance activated.
I am sure there is a bit missing which should be a threaded tube that holds a pre loaded flash/ill/bang in place.

It's German made called Signal Illuminating and Sound DM57 with fuze DM1474.
Will post a photo and a drawing tomorrow, have to go home now.

Hi H & Chris,
The brass tube that contains the stiker is threaded to take the illum/sound cart? the striker is central so rules out a rimfire(.22") blank for ignition.
Photo and drawing would be great Chris.
Cheers

Smle2009,

Here are the drawing and the photo of the DM57.
I'm sorry it's in Dutch but hope you can make out how it all works.

Regards,
