Dont want to sound dilettante but this doesnt look to be the tail rotor.
So which part is it exactly??

This doesn't look like a chopper part at all!

It's most probably part of an old rusted Lakshya PTA like this one...(Part marked in yellow).

But damned if I know for sure!

The Lakshya features a breakable nose cone. So it's possible that many parts are non metallic for keeping its weight down and increasing endurance.
