Brilliant gue...er, deduction , Gordon ! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Yes, it's a piece of stanchion/bomb release mechanism from the bomb-bay of an unidentified B-17 allegedly shot down over Germany on 24th December, 1944.
Still attached is the catwalk guard-rope....

I would have guessed it to be a portable torture device. You stick the guys fingers in the slots and squeeze till he talks.
(keep bringing that stuff home and your wife may get the same idea!)
