Part of a frizzen maybe?

not that I recognize, can you post a pic of the other side with something for scale?

I'll show my ignorance on knife anatomy, but might this be part of the handle (bolster?) that protects ones hands from the blade?
Picture two of these, one on either side where you grip the knife.

A guess.

I can’t figure out how to add an image to my original post. Please help.

Could it be part of a window lock? What’s throwing me off is I found it with war of 1812 artifacts with buttons that have the same patina.

looks like broken thumb push thing from a powder flask maybe? Edit: reread what i wrote.....don't you love the technical terms? haha

 

[NOLA_Ken]

I was thinking along the same line as Tpmetal, maybe a thumb lever from a powder or shot flask

What's it made out of.If it's not brass forget it being part to a powder or shot flask.

It’s bronze.
