Parachute Flare...

That is a WW2 U.S. rifle launched Parachute Flare, the finned base tube that fits over the rifle grenade launcher is missing, they were made from thin steel and may have rusted away after so many years...

I have found several of them on Peleliu over the years but all had their bases...
