Luftwaffe aircraft parts

These are Luftwaffe, but not aircraft. The eagle stamp is a Waffenampt armament stamp, found on bombs and guns. I believe you have parts of a large Luftwaffe bomb or parachute mine.

But not the aircraft pieces though. :( So now the WASAG Oranienburg plant makes a sense. The Westfälisch Anhaltische Sprengstoff AG was a major German explosives manufacturer, headquartered in Coswig, and a key supplier for the German military.

Great ! :thumbright:

and here the tail from the bomb. Judging by the shape of the one in frenchie's images it could be a little bit larger.

Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for your invaluable help. You've solved the mystery of this object. My friend is absolutely thrilled and would like to thank you as well. Thank you all so much—you're all real pros.

I think it more likely those "fins" fit inside the "tube" and line up with the ridges and screw? holes which is why I suggested "assembling" the parts in the order they appear to fit.
