Cool find! Congratulations

Looks similar to Marlin .22 rifle trigger.

If brass, that narrows it down. Most machined trigger guard assemblies are steel. As Winchester suggested, some early Colt parts were brass.

As were Griswold & Gunnison.

Based on y’all’s info , I started looking for brass tigger guard. Take a look at 1858 Remington pietta revolver. What do y’all think

I agree with the Colt 1858. Even if it is steel. London made them in steel under contract.

It is not from a Colt. Colt brass triggerguards were made integral with the front grip strap. This can be seen by googling "Colt 1860 schematic" (or 1851, 1849 etc. It looks similar to a Remington 1858 or 1863 guard, but still not exactly the same. It may be from a Remington of another model or from any of the many lesser-known revolvers made during the era of the Civil War.

Ok , I'm gonna call it. Trigger guard from Battle of Plains Store(prelude to the siege of Port Hudson). Remington revolver trigger guard.

This is the correct ID. M1858 Remington revolver. I’ve dug 4-5 of these trigger guards over the years.
