A reasonable guess for sure. Here's the other side of it... I suppose the "obverse"... and heavily obfuscated.

How about a side view? I'm interested in the profile of the two grooves.

It looks like a gas valve or a valve of some sort. Edit: I analyzed your second photo and found it. Good one!

Hmmm. The only Golden Bear I know of is Jack Nicklaus, and the only Black Knight I know of is from Monty Python's Holy Grail.
