**UPDATE-New Photos** Found On Civil War Battlefield - Some Type of Clip?

Ok, per Cannonballguy's request, here are 2 additional pics that might help to resolve this mystery.

Yes, there is definitely another rivet pin that appears to have broken off. But there is still some of it extending up above the piece itself, as I think the photo reveals.

I recently found this on an 1864 Civil War Battlefield here in the Shenandoah Valley. Appears to be brass and it looks familiar - any ideas fellas?

I found a photo of a dug sling/belt/strap-hook. See image, below. I've noticed that the distance between the holes/rivet-pins can vary, due to being manufactured by different producers.

Can't be 100%-certain that you found the upper end of a bent-and-broken sling/belt/strap-hook, but your find's shape and size is a very close resemblance.

Thanks Cannonball - looks like the best "educated guess" at this point. I really appreciate your (and everyone else's) help on this!

I'm not too sure this has been solved as yet, I maybe mistaken, but from your photos it looks like there're rivets on both ends of your piece of brass and nothing I seen suggested has both of those rivets if I'm seeing that in your photos?

I don't know what it is but I don't think it's anything mentioned yet.

I still think the item is electrical. Here is an example of one side of the inside of a bakelite cube that was on the end of an extension cord that had three female plugs.

The second photo is after I bent the prong back a little.
While this is not your item, it does have similar characteristics.
Just throwing it out there for your consideration

Now you have got it.
