Trigger guard?

[Helix]

Found this today. Looks like a trigger guard for a double barrel shot gun ? Or is it a handle from a cup or drawer pull??

Looks too thick in the middle for a trigger guard.

Forgot to mention the size. Its about 4 inches long. 5/8" at its widest point and 1 5/8" from were its broken to the bottom of the curve. Take into consideration the heavy crusty corrosion factor. Part of the "lever" from a lever action rifle

It does kind of look like a trigger guard, but I have never seen one out of iron.

I don't have large hands but it fits perfect in the palm of my hand. Like a pair of brass knuckles. It also crossed my mind that it possibly a knife or sword hand guard Or maybe its just a iron cup handle or from a large pot or something.

Almost looks like a drawer pull. Would make sense to fit your hand

Talked with my victorian furniture expert. He seemed to think its not a drawer pull. He pointed out the ends on either side, were the metal is broke. The ends are on more of an angle drawer pulls are more of a straight 90 degree angle. Plus one one side you can see a second nub were it broke. A drawer pull would not have that on one side.
