Looks to be broken at the mount on the one end, is it made of brass?
Could be furniture related.

i think it's pewter it came up the same as a tombac button
the end with the knock is not broken and it only has one hole in the point end to small for a nail and off center to far to be a necklace hole unless it was to hang at a strange angle

Could it have been hinged at the knock?

no place for the hook

All is needed for a hook is an eye and it could have easily been broken or rusted away. It is only a wag anyway. Monty

I think the item is a broken trigger guard. Some were fancy and some not so. HH

I think Broken Knee got it. It broke at the mounting hole. Maybe even a buttplate tang.
