🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Weapon part?

Is this a weapon part? The round part is moveable when you move the rod behind it. Found near a civil war camp in northern Delaware. It is just under 1.75 inches in length. Thanks for looking. It says “45” and “US” on ig etc.

Good call, definitely looks like a switch of some sort......Just can't recall what it reminds me of coming from.

Looks like n automotive light socket or perhaps the remains if a trailer connector.

It is a car alternator which holds spark plugs. I had broken wires once and drove a 4 cylinder on 3 because of a broken wire.

Might be a foot opperated High beam foot switch. Maybe some type of Solonoid . One thing for sure it is not civil war weaponry

I would guess a snap disc thermostat.

and it certainly isn't a car alternator which holds spark plugs

I'm going to agree it is part of a starter switch, had a 1950 dodge truck that had foot starter looked very similar if memory serves me correctly.

Spark plug casing for a car, the wires clip on at the top.
