Military Artifact?

[Garabaldi]

Found at a War of 1812/Civil war site. Any ideas what this clip could have gone to?

It does look familiar.

G, it reminds me of the 60's/70's hook that held a long horizontal round bar that people used on the inside of kitchen cabinet doors to hang dish towels. That same type of hook was used to hang bird cages on the wall. I'm not saying that's what it is, but it reminds me of that. Breezie

Its one of the artifacts that when someone figures it out we will all say, "that's what it is"!!!!
