The stirrup is hand forged, and consistent in design to those dating post revolution to mid-1800's. I have no idea on the cross.

The cross looks to me like it was hand forged, and forged welded, and who ever did it did a real good job. No way to tell the age of the cross, because I know blacksmith's that could do that today.
