I found this item in my yard in CT which is along the historical Danbury trail. The item is hand made / formed. Has a very distinct patina. Had no idea what it was until I found some pictures of sling swivels on muskets. (See attached image) It looks like it would fit onto a trigger guard - has a slight bow at the top portion - such that it could attach to a companion piece allowing for rounded fit. The one I found is either very old or very crude because the craftsmanship seems less refined than samples pictures I have found. I wonder if it may be a sling swivel for some item other than a fire arm - that would explain the cruder craftsmanship.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
