Sword scabbard tip?

[fernald1]

Found this the other day. It's obviously incomplete. It does have an embossed eagle on it(incomplete) and another piece of it that I pulled from the hole had the letters "Ibus" I assume from "e pluribus unum?

I'll let the experts chime in - but don't think its a scabboard tip - looks more like a hat plume
still cool find
