Very nice recovery.
This kind of looks the same.

Brass Saddle Shield

This excavated saddle shield is constructed of cast brass which now has a woodsy green patina and some very mild period bending. It measures approximately 1-5/8 inches in width and 2-3/16 inches in length. There are no cracks, breaks, repairs. An example of the same type shield is pictured in
