OldTrapCollector 377 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yes it is a Fenn Mk I Rabbit Trap, there are plenty of them still about if you look for them. The Fenn Mk I Vermin trap was only an experimental trap and was never produced for general use, so far as I am aware. D-S knows all about them and will reveal all in his book when it gets published.
