Speculum! :icon_eek:

Seriously though. This is terrible. I know I've seen them before. I forget where.

Then, I thought; " Probably featured in that old, French outfits catalogue. Like the French equivalent of our S. Young & Sons (Misterton). Err .... Who was it? Ummm ..... Fukk! 'D' something ..... "

I used to able to spout all this shit as fluently as I swear. Now? Fukking head's going completely! :(

Bavarian vole trap

Sounds about right. They are sold under a couple of Teutonic-sounding company names  .

All those springy wire ,gopher ,vole and mole traps remind me of the annoying little key-ring type puzzles that used to come in Christmas crackers. Probably an age thing?

Bit of a tangent, but I think moles are a protected species in Bavaria, requiring a permit to trap them.

Interestingly on genuine talpex packaging, the German language description reads as 'Wuhlmausfalle' which translates as 'vole trap'.

All very confusing, because I bet voles are protected there as well, and in any case, a talpex for a vole is like using the proverbial sledge hammer to crack a nut!
