Dug this piece in a field where i have found
Several General Service buttons from the
Civil War, the hook reminds me of the Bayonet
Part with the same looking hook, seems to be brass, Anyone can
Help out ID the piece is welcome.

Civil war bayonets were of the socket type and were carried in a leather frog, but your piece is still some sort of hangar that affixed to a belt.. could be for a sword with a 2- ring scabbard.

It probably had a leather strap attached to it and the hook part could have fit into another piece of similar design

Im still clueless about the piece, thanx all

Reminds me of the brass piece on the end of the leather straps that barbers used to keep their straight razor sharp, but that's just a big old wild guess.
