Ben, could you show it? Give some photos will be veeeeery cool! Because and on Lex website picture in bad quality from Sankt-Peterburg museum and no more another pictures (not only on his web-site, but and in Internet!)!
 
I wonder, who makes great efforts to build these devices, which never would have worked properly in the sense of a true Riegel-Mine. :hmmmm2:

Somebody very wanted money and that`s all. Very easy to make that what you can see onlu on one photo in Internet :)
Outside it looks like "mmmm" :tinysmile_fatgrin_t but inside like "feeeee" :puke:
 
This particular one, Ivan, has already been fully discussed here; unfortunatley I'm still not familiar with the search function to lead you on the right path.

But to say it again briefly: it's quite a nice looking but not functional device and we hadn't the opportunity to have a look inside without destroying the 'shear wires', which are connected with the 'safety bars'. Truly a crazy construction.
 
The out side condition looks quite aged to pass off as something made 70 years ago but the give away is the new polished metal insides and the fuze pockets that determine that its a fake.
