Greetings for spring time in Louisiana,

I purchased this "Thing" from a goodwill store. I had no idea what it was and I still have no idea what it is. I took it to a highly regarded gunsmith today. He said he thought it was a part of an aiming device on an artillery cannon or possible a mortar. I realize this has nothing to do with a Luger, but I don't where else to turn. If anyone can shed some light on this "thing", I will be very grateful. It is 8 inches long and 1.25 inches in diameter. I am considering putting it on eBay and let the chips fall where they may. BTW: forgot to mention, no crosshair. Only marking is "B-137188 stamped on the brass part in very small font.
Mike
