Another Whatsit?

This looks like the tip to a powder horn....thought it may have been a bayonet tip until I actually picked it out of the dirt, than could clearly see that it wasn't.

Bayonet scabbard tips and sword drags were made from brass. Though I see some brass in your picture I dont think it's gonna be a scabbard tip or sword drag. I aint got a clue what it is...d2

Other than the brass tip, is it iron? or wood?

Can you post another pic of it next to a ruler? So we can see how big it is?

The upper part is made from iron. When I get home from work I will take another picture next to a ruler. It looks to be about 6 to 7 inches long.

Could it be a handle from a Gurkha knife :P

Powder horn tip??

 

[{Sentinel}]

I do believe that it is a very good possibility that it may be a powder horn, or at least part of one. Good Eyes

In all seriousness, it looks like something one would find in their front yard.

Could be. Except it was found in the middle ofthe woods right on the battlefield. I was looking...and it could be junk, however it has a hole that runs up through the shaft consistent with a powder horn.....If someone can post a pic of the same object and show that it is modern than okay.....but for the time being it looks to have heavy wear as if it were very old..PBK if you could help me out I would appreciate it.

The piece is definately the tip of a powder horn, I have a lot of them in my collection and I am certain that is what it is. Nice find though.
