This is just over two inches long. The hilt is representative of a 17th-century ribbon hilt, beak-nosed broadsword. There was a great fashion for agate and silver-mounted jewellery in the 1860s and 70s - plaid brooches and miniature dirks were manufactured in the same way. This is probably a tie pin or brooch.
These are normally some three inches long, this being the smallest I have seen.
There is a small break at the bottom of one of the bars of the guard. Otherwise, it is in good shape.
