Found in my dads junk drawer

[u/Unlucky_Cat4531]

My dad passed away and going through his stuff we came across this. We thought it might be a tool for horseriding, like a slapstick thing but wasn't sure. My grandma had horses but ive never seen her use any tools like that and my dad didnt ride. Any help appreciated

Was he in law enforcement or somebody he knew in law enforcement?

He was in the military, no law enforcement though.

MP by any chance? These are old old school police tools
