BSA Grease nipple, centre stand
Grease nipple for the centre stand pivot, part number 28-2080.

It shows up across several figures in the catalog covering footrests and brake linkage, the rear wheel, and the swinging arm and centre stand assembly, which tells you this pivot point gets attention from more than one angle when the bike's on the stand. Catalog appearances for this one run 1969 to 1970.
If your centre stand pivot is dry or squeaking, a nipple like this is what lets you service it without pulling the whole stand apart. Worth checking that the nipple isn't stripped or clogged before you assume the pivot itself needs work.
