Well, here's a really far out guess...This may have been an initiator for a scuttling charge...

Screw the gun into a spigot attached to a 55 gallon drum of blasting powder, on board a ship...Use an incendiary round...Shoot it into the drum full of powder to destroy your U-boat before it can fall into enemy hands...

Hey, that's as reasonable as some of the BS I read on GB...

(Feel free to use this explanation in your sales description)...
