Solid silver Musket Piece?

[Iron Patch]

Found with 1700s targets. Thinking a musket piece, maybe corner of the butt plate.

Definitely similar. It's pretty thin though so was probably more decorative than functional.

Nice find IP, is it in tact it looks like something is missing or broken at the top in your first pic, or is it just my imagination?
Anyway sweet find, Broken Knee

Yes, there is a break at the top but no idea how much is missing. (Was my friend's find)

Its neat what ever it is....you are supposed to be I.D. ing everything from that period!!

Seeing a picture it is a very good match for a French escutcheon, just not as solid as the others I've seen dug.
