Hi all, been away for awhile ..visiting an old place of a punch up back in the 60s...found a few .577s and musket balls that were fired back at the english as an answer to there cannons...little brass hook in the centre is a .....what do you reckon..been suggested it could be a knapsack clip or a rear tunic fastening to stop the soldiers belt from sagging down...important to keep the pants up for sure..bit of frag and some small fuses ended a good day..thanks for looking....

The hook is a nice find, I think the knapsack clip seems possible. I guess it could go on horse tack somewhere Not really sure, as we get very few 19th C Military related items as they were all overseas losing their stuff....
