A Brass piece with hand inscribed portrait, perhaps mocking King George?

[Don in SJ]

One of my friends found this in one of the oldest areas of southern NJ yesterday and it looks like the brass hardware was hand inscribed with a bust of someone before holes were drilled. The way they depicted the individual is not in the best of light, so perhaps as my title suggests, it was a colonial era piece that someone expressed their "love" for KG? Thoughts?

first thought is gun furniture. I think it is likely to be a later repair job.

I've noticed some of these older things have two holes in them. I think this is where you would put a string or chain to where.

The finder thinks you might be correct since the piece is convex. Now to trim the guy's nose hairs and eyelashes!
