Who recognizes it?

I picked this up the other day. Heavy, clunky and doesn't look like much, but it's high in the cool factor. Anyone recognize it?

Maybe an aircraft drag/drogue chute attachment.

Parachute connection for the 500 Lbs matra bomb

Slick pretty much had it, but too generic. This is from the big one, B52.

Size would be helpful. It may be from a cargo tiedown from a transport aircraft.

EDIT - just saw the B-52 post.
