Mechanism of something that spins.  I was going to say steel but guessing from the mil it's probably wierd alloy 438.

Gatling gun breech mechanism?  Looks old enough to be a hand crank version? Just a guess.

Tim - you are absolutely correct.  I assure you it reached me in that condition, and didn't become that way in my hands.  This is a new acquisition to the Holdings.
