What is this?

I found this small enameled piece many years ago while hunting civil war sites in the Hagerstown, Md. area. I am not sure of the composition.
My brother also found one. Could it be from a saddle?

It looks like it might be some type of concho that would be on a kid's cap gun holster. Welcome to the forum! Breezie

I agree with Breezie that it's likely from some toy holster or other related item.

Her suggestion led me to this site, and although I looked through some of it and didn't see the exact concho, there are tons of great photos here and the item may be hidden among them somewhere. If not, it's still an interesting stroll down memory lane for anyone interested in vintage toy cap guns and holsters. I was born in 1952, and my favorite cowboy hero then and now is still Roy Rogers.
