Civil War Stirrup???

Found this stirrup yesterday hunting at a friend's house who is about 2 miles as a crow flies from the Perryville Battlefield site here in Kentucky.It was about 11 inches down.

Cool find and it is complete. Are there any maker marks or stamp marks?

I'm going to let it soak in some white vinegar and then see if I can get some of the rust off.About 2 weeks ago I took my nephew with me to a sight that was supposedly a look out for the union army.It was up on a high peak here in Kentucky very close to my house.I let my nephew use my BH 2200 and he found a 1863 merchant token from Cincinnatti.
