My boss shows up with two old soldering irons today, one is a small iron
probably used for stained glass work but the other was rather strange. The
business end of the iron was about an inch in diameter and hollow. When
this is unscrewed, the handle end has a (for lack of a better description)
firing pin. This is actuated by a spring loaded plunger in the handle.

Any one know about this tool?

they come up with this striped stuff.
