CW Stirrup?

[dugit]

I dug up this stirrup in North Louisiana and was wondering if it is from the civil war

Sorry i posted the same pic. twice

Can you tell if it has been welded together or blacksmithed together, looks older than modern date.

 

[dugit]

It is made of brass and no repairs have been made to it. I see where a punch was used to make grips
and appears to have been done by hand.

Looks like its from a 1847 Grimsley Saddle or a 1847 Grimsley Dragoon Saddle

Can you see "filing marks" on it where excess brass was filed away after it was cast?

Is it marked in any way?

I am working over in Africa right, when I get home in 3 weeks I will take a look.
I cant remember if there are any file markings or not.

dugit, is that brass? Just joined this forum very recently. A friend has one of these and it came from a cane field in South Louisiana. Is yours made of brass?
