The first object is definitely the broken-off front of the brass trigger guard from a British-made Model P-1853 Enfield rifle. Both the Union and the Confederacy imported tens-of-thousands of Enfield rifles during the civil war, so there's no way to be sure who was using the one you found.

Unfortunately, I do not recognize the second object.

2nd object looks like a trigger to me.

The only triggers like that I could find are the rear triggers on double trigger flintlocks. How many triggers can you put in one sentence?

You took a great shot at it, or you're just trigger happy.

That just triggered a memory of Roy Rogers telling Jingles that he had an itchy trigger finger as he mounted his trusty steed - Trigger. Or was Trigger the dog? Uh oh, my CRS is kicking in again.

while it does look similar to a trigger, at nearly 3 inches that would be a huge trigger. I believe it's part of a two piece latch similar to an antique ice box latch

I wonder if the TH mark could be the initials of Thomas Hunt of Potts and Hunt, a maker of Enfield pattern guns in London

The second piece I'd agree is a latch part.... possibly window or shutter

Yup, I believe you're right about that. Also, now thinking about it, trigger would be steel, not brass.

Thanks for all replies, Cannonball, thanks you nailed it, slingshot yea thats what I thought it might be, Kray, yea this thing is is huge, jewelerguy, I think ice box hardware is a definite possibility, Ken thanks for the info on the initials, loved the trigger humor( although no one said T.H stood for trigger happy) thanks guys....
