piece of ship rigging

[Moe (fl)]

is this a piece of ship rigging? Any ideas?

It is solid (heavy) and magnetic (iron). It measures 4" 3/4" inches long. Was found at the beach.

The first 5 pics are after electrolysis. The pic at the bottom is the way it looked when found.

Thanks.

Its hard to say my first guess is not rigging but a working piece from a rail, to snatch a line something of this nature...if its from a ship and it does look like it. Good luck GFH
