Looks more like an early toy pistol handle. The iron residue was part of the mechanism, it looks broken where the mid section & barrell would attach.

Its not a British style of Knife (if thats what it is )

You could be right crusader.Like a flintlock pistol, another pick,it looks like it would also come apart at the handle....

Yeap, its a flintlock style pistol (thats what I meant by pistol, although I should have been clearer)

Cool find.
To me, the style of handle looks mostly like this model, the 'English Tower Flintlock Pistol'
