Yepper, Tear Gas Pen.
I have one similar (with the exact same firing mechanism) and mine fires off signal flares.

Here is a website showing similar pen guns

Thanks! I didn't see one that looked like the one I had, but really cool stuff.

Cool, any reason why you never shot it?

Back before I retired and was flying with the navy, we had something similar in our survival vest called a pencil flare. It shot a .38 caliber flare round, but could also be used to shoot a .38 SPL bullet (not recommended by the the riggers however).

We still use pencil flares. I have no idea how you'd get a .38 SPL in there though. The flare screws in, and there would be nothing to hold a cartridge. However, we did shoot a flare at a tin shed, and it went through 2 layers of sheet metal.

The thing from James Bond was a pen bomb...click 3 times to arm, 3 times to disarm.

The mechanism and knurling look exactly like the EIG pen guns on the same site but different page that msgt posted:

That would be a bad one to get caught with in airport security.

That's a new one on me, James Bond....Q might know.
