It's a loading lever for a model 1836 Colt Paterson revolver.

I'm thinking it looks larger than it is . I'm guessing the spike is for clearing the nipples and the " crown" is the wrench for removing them. How do you use it to get the leverage you need to seat the balls ? Only way I can figure is if the spear point end fits in the bbl wedge slot ? Just a WAG. Or is there another part to this ?

Yes it goes in the barrel wedge slot. Because it's sort of spoon shaped it can be moved in the slot. I don't remember if it's a combo tool or not.
