OK, so the first part was too easy for you so your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify this thing. It came with what I now know thanks to you were Seahawk parts. This part is 45 inches long to the end of the pole, 47 end to end as seen. It is dark sea grey to the bend and then duck egg green.
There are no part numbers on the exposed part and I don’t really want to take the tape off if I can help it. Wires and tubes come out of one end.
My own guess, for what thats worth, is that it is too long to come from an aircraft, unless it was one with a deep belly, but could perhaps be a control stick from a helicopter.
Your considered views please
many thanks, Dave

Many thanks TrollyAux & JonH – I hadn’t thought of that. Well done indeed. Dave

Looks to me like a Pitot tube
Good call, out near the tip on the leading edge of the port wing –
