Unidentified Militaria - post your items here

I found this pice of aluminium under an old woden building that was recently demolished. It is painted whit a cyan color that make me think is from an airfcraft, it also has a bizare shape, any ideeas what coul it be?

In August I vsited Bulgaria.
In the shops there were a lot of WW2 items.
Here are some:

NICE ! What were the prices like ?

And most of them are fakes....

Well, you could by "Nazi dagger" (present-day domestic knife with swastika) for 50 Euros

Well I stayed near Sozopol.
But in the medieval peninsula os Nessenbar there were a lot of antiques.
Some I'm sure were real some not so sure.

Nice places ,but also centres of the militaria industry. Yes, when man is wolking trought this towns, man could think that the half of the nazi military stuff is in Bulgaria . But actualy almost every thing is modern fake. Just the people who make these items want grow rich from the foreigners. I recommend to everyone, who will visit Bulgarian seaside to not buy "Third reich" stuff. Only some items like helmets, canteens and belt buckles are original.

You could try this: find an old car battery, pour some of the acid from it into a suitable container and let your relic soak in it overnight. Make sure it's completely submerged. When you handle the battery and the acid from it, wear eye protection and gloves. Do this in an well ventilated area. The acid will remove all the rust buildup from the bayonet. Rinse it in running water and, if necessary, use a wire brush to remove the remaining rust.
It won't be as good as the day it's left the factory, but at least you can stop the decaying process...
I know it worked like a charm for me.
Other alternative: use some commercial rust remover like Feruginol, but it's less effective on relic items like yours.
... just my 2 cents

Maybe his gramps buried it as a useless item when they found that slaughtering pigs in the backyard will be prohibited after joining the UE

And where actually did you find it ?

on a field,far away from the village
P.S thanks for the advice i`ll try to do that but i was thinking at something like a "pasla"
