Looks like a lynch pin. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct...BednxjDSO571NEPMzGIyeNgQ&ust=1499623863305243

Looks very similar to a Fibula to me. These were old brooch type fastenings used on cloaks.

most definitely looks to be a lynch pin. That was my first thought Nagant

Half of a snaffle bit.

Although this looks like a lynch pin...

IMO... it is not.

What you IMO have found is a type of "snaffle bit".

Commonly used with goats and sheep.
