It is a Civil War & Indian Wars era US Cavalry carbine sling belt's tip. Most diggers call it a carbine sling "batwing." The four rivets held it onto the sling-belt's end to keep the leather from fraying and for ease of feeding the belt's end through the carbine sling's buckle.

I have hunted over 25 years and I haven't found one. So send it to me if you don't want it.
