Help with horse medallions needed if you can. TIA

Hi all
I found these horse medallions recently, but I am trying to properly identify what the pattern is in the middle of the medallions. I looked around and didn't see any exact matches.

Thanks in advance for any help to sort this out as well as any info you can share. Keywords and suggestions welcome. Thanks!

 

Thanks much Davey for responding. I really appreciate your helping me out with these.

 

Unless they're a funny size I'd call them harness brasses or at least as an additional descriptor.

 

Thanks SIS. I will add that info as well.

 

Op you are cheating yourself out of information by omitting pix of other side and the dimensions.

 

Oh, ok thanks. I will upload pictures of the backs and measure them and add the info here when there is daylight again.

 

Even without seeing the other side it is 99% sure these are reproduction brasses made in the 1960s to 80s when these werr a fashionable 'olde worlde'decoration for homes and pubs.

 

Thanks for the addition info AF and Davey.

These 2 came off the wall at an estate sale.

Will take pics of the back later on today.

 

OOOOOH, Davey, can't you put a firecracker in the little cannon????!!!!!!

 

Regardless, I love their Irish look, Pearls!!!!

 

Thanks much!

I doubt I can take pics today, it is a dreary day here on Long Island. Grayish black sky with downpours. When the sun shows itself again, I will snap more pics and add measurements here.

 

What's stamped into the bottom of that cartridge case?

 

Dave are you going to scrap them or are you saying you saved them. Scraping would be a shame.

I have piles of the horse brasses in the store. They sell constantly at $15.95 each. I don't pay squat for them All the repro ones, though I have a box coming in this weekend that might be older. So tell me...how would I know if they're older?

 

The wear patterns are about the only clue, some repros are given a 'worn smooth' appearance, but they usually do not bother with under the suspension loop at the top where a leather strap would have passed.
If you can find some that really are old, study the wear on them.
When I was selling them on ebay around 2000, 2001 they sold well to the US market. I did try to find and sell only ones that I thought had at least some age and 'horse wear' to them, but I could never be entirely sure.
