The brass fell to pieces but proud of that bullet. Had only seen them in books before today.

What kind of bullet is that? It looks like a carved finial of some type.
 
My book is at work. Will post the name tomorrow. It's not carved. That's the original shape.

Looks like a scabbard tip to me.
 
That brass beside the bullet is the casing. I have a book I'm going to get right now I just saw these the other day. I will post the name shortly.

Might be the brass to which the scabbard tip was attached, but it isn't a bullet.
 
It's not a bullet. It's a finial piece.
 
Definitely finial
 
Thought it was this. But after cleaning it was brass!
