Needing some help from the military experts

[silver john]

Found this while detecting a home built in 1810 in upstate NY near the Mass border. I'm getting people telling me it's off a horse saddle?? It's heavy leather sort of diamond shaped. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
