9 years and still stumped

[walrus]

I've had this piece for about nine years now. I found It in Maine using a Tech T2.
I posted it here when I found it, and had some good suggestions, but no positive ID. I am reposting hoping a fresh set of eyes might finally put it to rest.
It may be just a coincidence, but I also found a Maine Militia belt plate dating around 1820ish within 100 yards of where I found this piece. I will share a pic of that as well.

That particular Crown insignia looks like the work of silversmith Lewis Fueter. He designed and made the sword belt plates for the American Loyalist Army of the Kings American Regiment, The Royal Provincial Corps, during the American Revolution.

To me, the 'leather' fabric on your artifact closely resembles the same found on some of their headgear. Could possibly be a belt plate, or a helmet badge.

That material looks identical to me! Thanks for sharing!
