Help!

 

This came out of the estate of a carieer Air Force Officer, here is the description provided by the family member:

 

It is that greenish-black color, its 7 1/2" long, the blade is just 2 3/4" long, is not sharp except for the tip. The part with the ring has a push pull thing, comes out, leaving just a narrow hollow chamber - for some- thing?? It's heavy, weighs about 1.5 lbs.

 

Anyone??
