looks like a gun

[SkyPirate]

Found this today. It looks like it may be half of something, the square end is not broken off it has a smooth edge. It is about 7 inches long and about an inch wide. Looks like half of a toy pistol to me but I don't think that is waht it is. Please help! Thanks!

I was thinking Cadweld flint igniter (striker) too. Or some variant.
Is it hollow or solid? These are sheet metal and mostly hollow.

It seems to be half of something, that is not a trigger on it but a rod of some kind.

looks like a navy flare gun from the civil war era
