Description

Weeping heart designs were common in the 1700’s and 1800’s, it was said to resemble the Linden leaf. Which it resembles closely. The Linden tree was considered a source of magic and so forth in Germanic/Scandinavian folklore, thus the use of it in both tomahawk and more commonly in Pennsylvania/Kentucky Long rifles of the 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as on leather bags.
Also, the heart was popular among the Celts. In Scotland, the thistle heart (which looks like a weeping heart, but was formed with a thistle vine) was a pretty common betrothal symbol. There is a folktale regarding the heart, the thistle, and a marriage promise that was never broken but was never to be consummated.
So there’s your history on its meaning if you didn’t know.

i have heard some people say it isn’t a heart at all historically, but in fact is a Linden leaf. the Linden was a protected in old Europe. I just found this.
Linden trees have a special place in symbolism (sacred tree, the tree that is a symbol of love, fertility, prosperity, fidelity, friendship, peace, justice, altruism, good luck) and also in the popular traditions due to the positive aspects (healing trees, protective trees, trees that are keeping away the diseases and the evil spirits).
the symbol of the Linden was the leaf.💚
like the shamrock it was carried in traditions to the new world.
or so i have heard:dunno:

If the weeping heart is mounted on the wrist of a rifle by the shooters hand, it will bring good luck for the hunt.
