Can anyone help with this trap. Hand forged? Trap is 17" long and 8" wide. Appears to be missing the pan.

That might be an egg trap?

Very interesting, I bought two traps this spring out of Winnipeg Manitoba one of them is an exact copy of your trap, the other trap was very simular but not exact like yours.

All three traps are made by the same person no doubt. They are obviously old and handmade I would guess around 1930-1920. Probably made in Manitoba maybe Minnesotta. Traps of a very simular design come out of Eastern Europe.

Your trigger is not missing it’s there. Just like mine. It’s not a pan but a bait spike.

In my opinion the traps where made and used either for pike or Marten.
