Hi guys

Maybe alittle off topic but I was wondering if anyone can confirm this is a PIAT firing pin and mechanism.

about 13 inches long with the two smaller tubes telescoping into the bigger one on a rathe weak spring. Fixed firing pin with it's base screwing into the bigger tube.

Looks like the end of the smallest tune (cylinder) has a groove for a sur-clip.

Found in a 50's era barracks box donated to the 8th Canadian Hussars Museum and we can ID it.

Any help appreciated.

regards
Darrell

And another.

large number is 949 and smaller one is 280 (under what looks to be a winged "V")

Firing pin.
 
Looks a lot like a Schmeisser with no bolt.

Hi Peter

And you are 100% correct. I sent the pics to a buddy of mine who put them up on gunnutz.com and the answer came back as "firing-pin/recoil-spring assembly for an MP-38/40".

Good eye. :)

The Museum fellas will be glad to hear that. We had a long and varied conversation about this item on Friday and ended up having no idea!!

regards
Darrell

*Geoff, please feel free to delete my off topic posts as it's clear it has nothing to do with a PIAT.*
