Flag Staff Topper?

Went to a new spot (for me) today that had a lot of activity during the Civil War, including combat. Found confederate and union bullets and buttons and this piece. It's made of iron and looks like a flag staff topper, what do you guys think?

Looks more like an iron fence/gate post topper

I wondered about that, but most of what I found there was Civil War.

Doesn't look to have much corrosion......did you clean it or is possibly bronze? Maybe a tip off of a pike.

I washed it off, not much else, and it's definitely iron.
