Wow, that's a big one. You sure those measurements are right?

Haha I meant mm!

Translating the millimeter measurements into inches... your slightly tapered cylindrical object's length is about .8-inch and its (crushed) width is about .6-inch. Doing the "Pi" math, the EXTERIOR diameter of the cylinder's end was originally about .4-inch. Since the interior diameter would be even smaller, probably .3-inch or less (about the diameter of a modern wooden pencil), it is too small to be a scabbard tip. You couldn't get a piece of leather to stay in a .3-inch hole. Your mystery-object must have fit onto a thin wooden rod.

There appears to be a hole on the side of your mystery-object. A bell doesn't have a mounting-hole on its side for attaching it to something. The photo below shows the mounting-hole on some (worn-down) buggy-harness (wooden) shaft's protective brass tip.

I think you figured it out! Thanks! And none of those have a fresh patina like mine.
