The two arms are sprung so that as you push on the handle they separate, and then return to position.

This is the correct answer. It's a hand helt clay pigeon thrower for skeet shooting.

The black metal part reminds me of my futon couch, has a similar mechanism for when you fold/unfold it. Could this be an arm for some kind of recliner chair?

I had the same thought, this looks like the handle for a recliner.

That seems like an unlikely thing to have a thong on it, though...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just curious is the thing you call a thong what I call a spring?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

No, the thong is the leather loop on the handle

That makes sense. Thanks!

The consensus is that it's a clay pigeon thrower.
