That's what I was thinking except the little wire at the end to the right seems to not go with the idea.
Eh, we'll find out soon enough.

I think you are on the right track with type of firearm but it doesn't weigh anything.

Yep, nipple pick. To be specific it's an "inline nipple pick."
For anyone who isn't involved with muzzleloaders a nipple pick cleans the tiny hole in the nipple (where the percussion cap goes) so that the spark from the percussion cap can reach the powder.

Indeed it is! (aftermarket Hi Power thumb safety) From a side-view it would have been painfully obvious. Top-down they look nearly identical (but you can still make out the outline of two of the major differences).

Yeah, it's part of a revolver extractor, the ratchet specifically.
