✅ SOLVED Padlock part, trigger guard?

[WHADIFIND]

I figure the former but thought I'd ask.

Non-magnetic, probably brass. I think it's part of a lock but I can't figure the mechanics.



Thanks!

Looks like a nose ring for a bull.

Welp, better the bull than me.

Seems I got the proverbial "brass ring" again. (half of it anyway).

Thanks!
