Help with part ID from a Kingman Army Airfield

[croftonaviation]

Good evening all, I come here seeking expertise. After the last rain a few weeks ago a friend of mine with a hanger at Kingman airfield pulled this out of the ground. While small bits and pieces are still an every day occurrence it’s a little rarer to find something that might actually be identified. I am hoping someone here will look at this and be able to help. I am assuming (probably incorrectly) that this is hydraulic in nature but fir the love of me I can’t figure it out. Thank you all in advance. Here is a link to the photos, apparently they are too large to post directly.

You win the “you are the man” award! That is very cool. I appreciate the information as will the gentleman who found it.

Many thanks

I like the mouse pad! Did you make it?, Can you make another?

No I’m not that talented! I think it came from the now defunct KAAF museum. There is a local militaria shop who was supposed to get some made up. I’ll check for you and see if he did. It is one of the cooler designs from the war
