Anyway it occured to me that it could be a grip, a little long perhaps but not by much.... it would suit me not too large or too small.
Obviously its not a Sarrisa grip you'd simply be creating the same problem somewhere else, I was thinking in particular of a sword grip from Höganäs of Hallstatt D date, granted this is earlier, it was specifically noted by the author not because its a tube or even thats its a sword grip, but because it has a brazed seam rather then welded. Otherwise its a hollow tube that sways out at the ends (also in the middle) in a similar fashion to the "coupling sleeve".
Of course it could be completely unrelated....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
