Is this part of a gun?

[Baldingboy]

Found this in close proximity to where I found the button I have posted on the "What Is It" forum. The button I believe is Civil War. I am hoping this is off a gun, and really hoping it is Civil War. But you know what they say about hoping.....tell me what you all think.

Notice the hunk of metal in the last photo. I think this is silver! Do you all think that is silver solder?? In the old days would they have cause to be melting silver for some reason. (insert joke).....no really.

I thought this might be part of the floor plate to a gun.

Try the old spit and tin foil on the silver thing!

I found a piece like the center black piece. Is it copper?

Yeah, I think it is copper. It is a valve stem cap that has black paint on it.

Spit on some foil and rub it on the metal, if it's silver it will smell of eggs.

that first item looks like the side door to an old cap gun maybe?

Must not be silver then. I spit on it and rubbed it on foil, and no aroma of eggs. Oh well.

I tried that Shaun, but what do you have when it smells like Budweiser ?
