✅ SOLVED Old gun piece?

[fat fred]

Found in colonial to antebellum area, brass or alloy, fits in palm of average man’s hand (sorry no ruler/measurements) your input is appreciated. Looks like an “S” mark on the inside.

It does look like a piece of inlay of sorts?

Thank you ironhorse! Brown Bess it appears to be! Last time we went there two years ago found a trigger guard might have been the same musket the farm tractors and loggers move stuff around for us!
