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
