Alan,
Thanks for the information. Have you also seen bankols used as sword hanging hooks as well? But in any case, the original thingamajig does not resemble a bankol or its Turkish predecessor. |

No Ariel, bankol have a specified use, they are exceptionally rare, invariably high priced and nobody in Central Jawa would even dream of using one as a suport for any type of weapon.
You're dead right, the thing that began this conversation is nothing at all like a bankol. |

Thanks.
And the item in question does not resemble a Turkish ( Indian etc) sword hanging hook as well. We are back to the simple and obvious: it is a moderately fancy fire striker. Any alternative explanations? |

Good news guys
It is a trigger and probably a fire striker... Your honour is safe!
