It seems too light for a bear trap and the chain is attached to the jaws. Does anyone know what this is, It is interesting but does not seem very practical? The spring is stamped H Diedrich.

As the animal pulls the chain makes the jaws tighter. I don’t think it’s a bear trap but maybe a wolf trap. The pan assembly missing could mean it had a detachable assembly or the trap was triggered with a stick to act as a pan or bait hook. Very nice work.
