It may be from a WWII aircraft, but I would also think that comparison would have been part of a testing process to date the object. As I understand it, the aircraft claim was made by a historian who has not studied the artifact. Potentially, there is a reasonable explanation. I think further testing could help to determine correct dating that might make the similarity to the aircraft landing gear more likely. Equally, anything that dates it beyond 200 years is very relevant.
