Is it a musket butt plate?

[Garabaldi3]

Any ideas. Found it at a war of 1812 site.

Nope,wrong shape.A butt plate covered the entire part of the stock that went against your shoulder.

Looks like a butt plate off a flint lock pistol to me. Not an expert here, either.

That would be awesome.

butt plate from a pistol would make more sense, due to the size. However, the locator pins suggest it's a far more modern piece. I'm not sure what though. While close, it doesn't match any Indian motorcycle fender light assembly either.
