Another mystery object needing identifcation. The size of this can be seen from the first photo where it is seen on a kitchen-type table. I’ve included some numbers in case these help. Elsewhere it has UMC cast into one of the parts, but this doesn’t show up well in photos.
Any suggestions as to what this is would be greatly appreciated.

Bruce,
Thanks for that. Sadly if will be off an existing aircraft, a T22 actually!
Anon,
Thanks very much for the original identification.

Hand pump
Cockpit-mounted, hydraulic hand pump for lowering certain services (flaps, u/c etc.) if the engine-driven pump has failed.
This one has a stowable handle so is almost certainly type-specific. No-doubt someone will be along soon to tell you exactly which aircraft type it is off.
The device in the hydraulic line will be a non-return valve so it looks like it has been fitted at some time and removed for either a souvenir or unserviceability.
