Parts for a brass trigger assembly and guard from a Civil War era Enfield rifle recovered 1200 yards behind US Colored Troop lines in Fort Blakeley, AL. These come with envelope they were in since the digger wrote it up in 1976. These are smashed up as if on purpose by a deranged Yankee. The 2 pieces at the bottom in the second picture don't perfectly fit at the screw hole where the break was and so are most likely from different trigger guards.
