I know, that's what's really bugging me.

I thought i'd post this curious object for a bit of relaxation, a sort of 'fait divers', hoping not to comit such a major crime .

Relaxation?! I've been going crazy trying to figure it out and find some answers here. Nothing relaxing about such a mystery!
But seriously Fernando, i was just commenting. Don't get so defensive. You have committed no major crime here. I must admit though that i am rather hoping it still turns out to be a weapon some how, though i strongly doubt it. Maybe you could go out and mug someone with it to see if it is effective.
Crime or not though i do hope this doesn't start a trend here of everyone dragging out their unidentified non-weapon curios for discussion. That could get old fast IMO.
