Vintage Branding Iron Hand top Forged Broken R

A nice old branding iron, I think it might be a Broken R. It is hand forged, a loop on the end for a handle, a faint line in the middle of the handle where two pieces were combined. I'm not sure of the Broken R, since the piece forms a point, I top think it looks like it was made that way.

This iron is approx. 16 inches long, the R is 4 3/4 inches tall.
