Shotgunning/Sporting Jewelry?

Hello, lads....
As the moniker suggests, I'm interested in the shotgunning sports and do most of my shooting "in period." I just scored this nice tieclip showing what appears to be a model 1912 pumpgun mounted with a Cutts compensator:

I have another tietack I wear a good deal...it was given me by a good friend when I shot my first straight....and had been given to HIM by an old shooter when he shot HIS first straight...:

This is made from the brass of a Winchester 20g shell; "25" has been stamped into the area where the primer would be. Whether these were Winchester publicity items, or were made privately, I have no idea.

Here's a very cheap, but to me very charming, set of brass cufflinks showing a sport shooting over his dog:

Finally, a silver watch fob with a gunning scene...

I wish I could publish the OTHER fob I purchased with this one: also silver; round; and showing a plus-foured gent gunning over his setter. THAT was the one I kept in the breast pocket of my Filson gamevest....until, pushing through some of our thick New-England coverts....it got left behind, along with the bow of the watch it was attached to. I went back with a metal detector that day, and I've kept an eye peeled for the last 3 seasons. Gone, but not forgotten!

I'm wondering what other bits of sporting jewelry might be out there?

I don't know if this qualifies, but I found this when I was searching for gun engravings online...

I've seen Tommy guns used for sport... ;)
