Had a nice morning out with diggerdave this morning. We are both puzzled as to what the silver patterned half moon object actually is. Any ideas?    Otherwise, enjoy the Charles 1st sixpence!

All suggestions are welcome.

Is it Silver Al ?

Looks like the rear part of a revolver like an old colt 45, the bit by the hammer to me...

hi Andy ... thanks for the reply. Good suggestion.  The object however, passed the silver test!

our thoughts were along similar lines Chris. .... perhaps that of a scabbard decoration as another alternative suggestion?

Very interesting - and the Charles is a Charles II sixpence too - one of the very last hammered coins.
