When I first popped this two weeks ago I was very excited about the prospect of it being a scabbard tip, but quickly remembered the shape of civil war era scabbards. Usually, these have a rounded, almost oval shape at the end of the scabbard so naturally I called the find an odd shaped pipe fitting and didn't think about it. Turns out I just wasn't thinking far enough back. Yesterday I did some research and found something extremely similar to my find. REVOLUTIONARY!!! The photos for that are posted below and here's the link: https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/lot-464817.aspx
They both have one line on one side and two on the other but mine doesn't have the puncture marks of the photo-maybe thats why mine fell off the sword. Easily my best and favorite find yet, and I almost tossed it with the trash!
