LOL, I see it now and having converted 27.5 cm into inches I understand the scale of it. When I first looked at it I saw it as being about 4 inches long. Looking at the third picture, there is little difference in color or texture between the metal handle and the leather. I thought it was all metal.

It is a leather strop in a rusty metal frame. A loom type strop but adjusting the tension of the leather may not be very easy.
