hollow inside,with end cap and screw,any ideas...marked germany....thanks...again

It has to be a handle for a nut cracker.

File, or tap holder??

Does the side screw only lock something into the small hole in the end?

One would think whatever mounted in the front was kept inside the handle.  What could be useful that would be that short?  Neat looking tool.

yes,the small hole only locks ....and the screw in the end cap which is removable is for.....confused

Sawset? an odd one for sure!

What kinda nuts will that nutcracker crack? 

Don't we usually conclude that anything unknown is a leatherworking tool of some kind?

I'm into leather working and that ain't no leather tool!

received one suggestion,camera or flash handle ??

If the screw that goes thru the cap fits into the hole with the set screw then I think I agree that it is for a camera.
