LEAD WWI 1918 foot soldier and a what is it

[alderan33]

Hey all. I found this toy soldier in a field last weekend. Turns out to be a LEAD "Doughboy" made by Lincoln Logs. How is that for a nice lead object a kid could fit it it's mouth? Yikes! Back in the day they didn't know about the effects of lead. Anyway, the rifle is broken but the paint is still pretty good. I found one that is similar on Ebay for $400.
Also I have a what is it. I found this brass clip-looking object in a field near a Fort. Creskol thinks it might be a sash clip but I can't find anything similar to it. Help! Thanks for looking and HH.

Nice Doughboy! rare to find one with paint,
I got one wearing his gasmask.
The only soldier i've found with paint is a
WWII shotgunner with red lips
I put tags on a lot of my finds, who can remember all the details...
Love that lion Clip. Great Digs

Nobody knows what this lion clip is? Please help.

whatsit looks like a buckle, maybe to a harness strap or belt. Cant really tell the size of it though, just a guess
