I've seen these before but can't remember what they were. They look like hatplates but I'm thinking they were something else. I believe they were 1812 period too.
 
they look neat to me.. nice finds :icon_thumleft: MR TUFF
 
They are cool. I've been trying to remember what they are. I think they might have gone on cross belts. I wouldn't swear to this though.
 
Washington Artillery Dress Baldric Insignia. circa 1855 - 1885. In the photo its attached to the lions head with a chain.
