When I found this it looked dirty and I could barely make any details out. I cleaned it with vinegar and it started to shine. I was amazed as how much shine it took on. When I was cleaning it I noticed that the vinegar turned green. I don't know what that means. My questions are. "What do you think this is." and "Do you think that it is gold plated. Here are before and after pics.
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help guys, I agree silver plated would be cheaper and probably more popular than gold plated. I put the thing on my waist just to see if it looked right and I thought, anyone who wore that around their waist would have been laughed at, even by 1800 people who never smiled. Maybe it went on a some kind of saddle bag.
