Weapon or tool ? LOL

No clue what this is but it's threaded on the outer thicker end, the opposite end comes to a point but is bent. This was found on an old dairy farm and I believe it's made out of iron. Any ideas ? Thank you in advance.

Part of a lightning rod?

Looks like a section of a well pump rod

first off, you should show the full length of your rod ( sorry, no pun intended)
second, I don't see the rod as being threaded, the rings on the end don't look like threads but looks like even grooves
The grooves should show some sort a graduated angle to be threaded
Bar looks to be square?
Does that make any sense?

Tractor gear shift?

What it looks like to me is a strengthening rod from a hydraulic cylinder, older but that's what it looks like.

Hahaha, actually the picture is the entire length but cuts really close to the edge. 2nd, the threaded end actually is slightly angled with an opening on the end however now I see why you pointed that out, the picture doesn't show that. The bar is definitely square, thank you for your reply !
