Found this at colonial site, not sure if it is a scabbard and not sure what weapon it would have been used for. Also looking for time period. Thanks in advance.

It looks to me like a scabbard. The top part has a design shape to it I have also found.

Possible one or two holes in it to fix it to the scabbard?

Lots of scabbard chape's in this UK data base link.

I found that it was Civil war period, it was the tip on the scabbard for a bayonet for an Enfield rifle.
Thanks for your help.
