Enlighten me please

Whatever it is, it's a serious bit of swaging / forming / upsetting that has been tooled up for, 100% not a home done job or accident I would personally say , just strange that no-one on here has any knowledge of what it is, maybe try some other forums as well?

I tend to agree with you there Ed
The close quarters dispatch theory seems good to me but I'm beginning to think it's a repurposed firearms barrel. An idea of the actual bore size and twist might prove interesting. I can remember seeing something similar but can't for the life of me, remember where.

Struggling here to post pictures from my phone. Might put a couple more up later, but probably won’t help.

Surely some one from Yorkshire must know

It looks to be a Weihrauch 35 barrel. Looking at the slot I think its where the barrel release catch was fitted. There would have been a spring there too. As to the muzzle I've never seen anything like it Regards Tim.

Guess No. 2....
My grandfather had a bayonet that he told me was from Prussia and it was shaped in the form of a 'X' along the whole of its length, he told me that this was to ensure maximum tissue damage and to prevent the subsequent wound from healing easily...

This has to be the most unlikely suggestion yet.

No idea what it is, but this pic reminds me of the Matrix.

The only airgun I can think of with a barrel latch like the hw35,Is a Baikal,IJ38(I think) but,the front of the breech block is more angled,like the old El Gamo's

I asked on a mlitary forum in the firearms section, no ideas or help there ....... but one wit's answer was;

"Flag holder. For purposes of mounting Flag, White (Surrender). Just snag the material in there and it secures it quite well. Useful bit of kit in a tight situation."

French issue, is it?

LOL.
It's got more chance of being a repurposed rock drill than a flag holder. Do my eyes deceive me, or do those forks appear to be tipped?
