Found this where I previously found the bullets. Not sure what this might be. Found it along with three banged up 58 cal. The photos are from all angles, it's about 1 1/2 inches long, has a hole, like a sight, but probabley isn't. It is about 3/8 inches wide. Rang in between brass and zinc, at six inches deep. Most likely brass. Any help appreciated.

bcs123 you could be correct. Did clean up well, but no markings. Still interesting. Enjoyed the day, rain included.

How about the handle for a crank out window. lock screw hole is in the right place and what looks like a place where a pin could have be welded to allow a rotating handle. Just a guess, HH Stan...
