What is this?

When I found this I thought it was a gun part, not so sure now. If anyone else thinks its a gun part where did it go?

If that is the original shape it is too small to be a trigger guard. So, what do we know about it? It's brass, the hole is a little larger than a nickel, It has marks on one side that could be roman numerals and the one screw hole is chamfered on the opposite side from the markings. Could it be part of a musical instrument?

looks more like a candle holder finger loop.

Yeah, I guess so, didn’t think about that possibility

Agreed.

BTW...

For those that lean toward the "Trigger guard" theory...

Trigger guards have more than one screw hole.
