Considering that it was found with the ramrod pipe, it could be a sling swivel, or the front stacking swivel that was used to stand the muskets in the tri-pod position in camp. Nice finds, they appear to be in great shape. HH
. It is shaped like a drawer-pull. Note its size (approximately 2.25-inches wide), and the bulge in the center of the loop. That size and shape seems appropriate for two fingertips (which are round) to fit into, and grip. A sling swivel's loop-bar is flat, to match the flat belt/sling.
I can tell you with 99% certainty that your item is neither a sling swivel or a drawer pull, but rather a "drop door handle" off of a carriage.
