Does it have a spring inside it? If so, my guess is that it's a confined space hammer, for driving tacks into upholstery or similar.

No spring. Here's another pic showing the end of the plunger, note it is dimpled. The plunger has about a 2-1/2" throw, and moves freely until you squeeze the handles, and then a pin/boss cams up towards the rights side (as seen in first pic) and holds the plunger in place. This can be anywhere along it's full throw. After typing this, I went ahead and posted a video

I don't think it's anything to do with reloading/ammo, either. I'm leaning towards a tag tool of some sort. At first we thought you might hit the plunger with a hammer, but the more I mess with it, the more it seems like the plunger is just gravity fed, like I show in the video. BTW, it is all cast and pretty heavy.
Oh, well, back in a tool box and a potential cold case in the future.
Thanks to those that had "idea'ers"

looked like it was for precision nail driving and i was right, like brad nails or something small that gets held in place. then whacked on back to install super straight, hence the long front on it for staying flat.

Nice job Kracin 
Guess mine is the less popular single-use version, no plier jaws, or screwdriver. But that multi-use model doesn't have my uber-useful, giant-*** site on the end either!

i figure thats for when you want to launch nails through the air, you have something to aim with
