Help me to idetify this hand tool
I'm guessing a punch or awl of some kind. Can anyone offer some insight as to what it is?

Wow, nice work, Mango man! Pretty astute to notice that it is likely homemade as well!
A search of google images turns up quite a few results that call it a barrel-type drift pin.

About my first post, I had forgotten to mention that there are no manufacturer marks. The left (big end) is 7/8 " diameter. The right (little end) is 1/2 " diameter.
I'd picked it up at a flea market on a hunch. Having never did metal work, I did not know. Thanks guys! Especially to Mango_man!
