Sword or Knife Handle

[jstorz]

I found this Sunday at a 1830 era homesite. I found 1 piece and saw it had a part missing. About 30 minutes later I found the other piece about 30 ft away. I didn't want to clean it,but a friend at work said I needed to sandblast it so he could solder it back on. It looks like a Mexican Eagle(chacalaca) to me. Could someone confirm this and date it? I live in southeast Texas.

Nice find for sure, you never know what might come out of the ground next.

Might want to move this to the "What is it" forum. Those guys look for this type on thread there. A ton of knowledge just waiting for these threads.
