Looks like a flare gun to me. The front portion looks like the hinge where the barrel would pivot when it was opened. Like a shotgun

Lol - I own the 'Premier' model in the pic above. I believe
they are from the 60's, or possibly earlier.
My guess is that with MK1004's relic, the barrel section
( upper tube ) broke off and the frame portion simply
discarded. You'd unlatch the barrel which becomes
the 'cocker', pulling it forward to compress the
spring. It's not a very sturdy mechanism.........
