Dear Greg - what you have is the lock-nut part of the Weiss/RWS sub-calibre device, used to enable the weapon to shoot either 4mm or .22 calibre bullets for training purposes. the barrel section screws into it, and the whole thing is retained by rotating it around the foresight. I had one but was forced to send it to Germany rather than see it destroyed at the hand-in - here in UK the sub-calibre device was classed as a lethal weapon. E.mail me for more info if you want. They were, incidentally, not standard issue anywhere - if you wanted one, you had to buy it. Mine came complete with the bill of sale - RM32.50 in 1928.
