it's a Dutch muskrat killer trap, sometimes known as a bank trap (or at least a version of it)

They are powerful and proper top-striking killers, more powerful than the Fenn vermin and rabbit traps but not as powerful as a DOC. They can be set and placed into a large tunnel or hole where the DOC cannot as it has to be bolted into its box to set it (and use it legally).

 

One drawback with the bank trap is that it was made to be baited - the trap is fired by something (muskrat) moving the bait wires not as a plate or trigger wire set-up. They come in a whole load of different sizes too, many passed to Euro standard - look for those with the AE stamp on them, usually green painted.

 

As a squirrel trap they could be useful if approved for use here in UK, and with modification perhaps for other vermin too
