Big Brass Key from Civil War battlefield, found in 3 pieces but 3 pieces makes it whole, what did a key like that go to? In the one pic above the key, can anybody ID that piece, also from the battlefield site

I have one of those keys in my dad's old tools. He did some plumbing work years ago.

Key to the chest that held all the gold coins for paying soldiers. Now get out there and find that chest. Hopefully I have the better answer though Cliff probably has the correct ID. Can always dream though...
