We have a winner!
In May 1876 Adam Worth alias Henry J. Raymond stole the painting The Duchess of Devonshire from the art gallery of Thomas Agnew & Sons. He was the inspiration for both Professor James Moriarty and the character Macavity The Mystery Cat in the book Old Possum's Guide to Practical Cats by T.S. Elliot. As the great detective brothers the Pinkertons said of Little Adam " In the death of Adam Worth there probably departed the most inventive and daring criminal of modern times... In all his criminal career, and all the various crimes he committed, he was always proud of the fact that he never committed a robbery where the use of firearms had to be resorted to, nor had he ever escaped, or attempted to escape from custody by force of jeopardizing the life of an officer, claiming that a man with brains had no right to carry firearms, that there always was another way, and a better way, by the quick exercise of the brain. Among all the men Pinkertons have known in a lifetime, this man was the most remarkable criminal of them all."

That is an ejection seat pull activation cord the older style went between the legs or over the head depending on the seat model.
