dark light

Mystery Air Ministry item.

I picked this item up in a wood about 5 months ago near to where I discovered a crashed WW2 Spitfire. As it is marked with the AM and crown of the Air Ministry could  it be  off  the Spitfire  what it is ?. It is 37mm in  diameter 22 cm’s long . I  think it could to be made of Carbon.

Many thanks for the replies about the mystery Air Ministry object.

I have look online at images of carbon rods used  on a  WW2  anti aircraft search light . I can’t find any that are exactly the same  but  some are  very similar. 

Best Regards Danny.
