I didn't see it right off but look at Agram.m posts. She has one there.
Looks like what is attached to the bottom of my German "hunters" pin although mine is pewter;

Charivari is a Bavarian term for these .... Used as part of a set of charms on a chain suspended from your Lederhosen. A noise maker dangling over the groin.
thank you shareurpassion & vetraio50!!
Vetra, now I know why the shape looked familiar! LOL!!
See my previous answer in Aghcollects post. These might most possibly also be 'grandlers' from red deer (a special kind of teeth often used as trofy).
