I found this on a recent hunt. I'm not sure what it is. Anyone that knows what it is or has a guess. Please, fire (pun) away.

Need a better pic and something to gauge size. Any markings? Type of metal?

I agree with cudmark ...

Seems more like a latching mechanism to me. The rounded "knob" part makes me think it turns on the knob.

Okay, here are some more shots.

I hope this helps. There are no markings that I could see.

Looks to me like it is a handle off of an old oak icebox / ice box latch.

Not a gun part. It's more likely part of a latch of some sort.

That is EXACTLY what my wife said it was. Wow, thank you everyone so much for your input. It's a keeper.
