I saw this trap on the internet and just had to have it. It's a German trap made by Rudolf Weber. It was often used in Africa. Leopards, panthers, pumas and hyenas were caught. I hope you like the old trap :-)

Neat looking trap! I wonder how many were made? Looking at the picture...it looks like the grapple hook was staked down? Is there a retractable metal stake that folds down for staking on that hook?

Do you mean the anchor? It's just a drag anchor with three prongs. There's nothing to fold.

Very nice, Thank you for sharing!

Thanks...

Single underspring strong enough to hold a leopard or a hyena. Wonder how you set that baby.

The spring is extremely strong. Without this spring hook or a large vice it is not possible to clamp the baby.

Cool trap!

In the pic of the caught cat the trap looks pretty big.
How do the jaws measure?

the jaws are set up 30cm x 35cm...
