Any LEOs recognize this? From a retired Youngstown, OH PD detective. Marked Federal Laboratories, Pittsburgh, PA. Patent date 1925. The leather-wrapped end is hollow and apparently chambers a tear gas cartridge (?). Firing pin cocked by pulling the knurled knob on the small end. Trigger is the button. Serious equipment. Don't believe that this is a "firearm", but defer to those who would know...
