I'm not sure about Civil War era but the stamped brass type like you show was used later into the early 20th Century.

Yes. That is a CW bridal rosette from a horse bit. Nice.

I believe the letters are too thin to be civil war period but I certainly could be wrong

Was stamped brass used that early? All the Civil War era ones I have seen were cast brass.
