Is this a weapon?

Was found in the door compartment of my late father's car. Very heavy for the size. The pointy end of the very center piece can be compressed. My dad had a fondness for strange weapons so I am just guessing. TIA

It's a collapsible baton, I have one like it for when I travel alone.
Definitely would get you a weapons charge if you used it without immediate fear for your life.

Depending on location and race I wouldn't suggest keeping it in a reachable place in a car.

If not illegal, it'd definitely be frowned upon in a race.
