Looks like a drop nose pin for holding an anchor onto a stemhead fitting. I've only ever seen these in SS and non tapered looks very similar otherwise.

Retaining pin for a long Dongler attachment?

As per previous posts, it's a drop nose pin for securing something; exactly what is anyone's guess. The fact it is tapered is unusual but not unheard of, unfortunately that probably makes it generally less attractive to potential buyers. They are usually stainless steel these days. It's quite big, so I'll guess at a tabernacle pin, but that's what it is; a guess.
