CW camp stuff?

[1171HP]

These items came off a CW camp site and I'm not exactly sure what they might be. I believe the item to the right is a tompion? Any info? Thanks.

Thanks. I thought that might be a tampion but I had no clew about the pewter water filtering item. I thought I saw a picture of something similar to the large piece here before. Thanks, again.

The piece in the middle, could it be a buttplate for an old rifle? The screw holes seem to be in the right spots.

i thaught that at first but the item seems a little to thin for a butt plate

The item in the middle is approximatley 1 1/2 " wide by about 9" long. It is very flexible and does seem to be a metal that is somewhat resistant to corrosion (I straightened it out some time ago) Anyway I could have swore I thought I saw a picture of one in this forum. Thanks.
