    I’ve seen those “around.” Barrel is die cast potmetal (see white corrosion products.). Many pieces similar come with brass tag reading in part “Mortero siglio XVIII...” or similar. Made in Spain perhaps still in production, but I started seeing them around 1990 I think. That piece might be 6” long, or less.
