btw, any markings on bottom of scabbard fitting (chape)?

Hi Andrew,

No, I just re-checked, there are no marking of any description. The bottom of the chapel is timber (see image), perhaps it is missing a plate of silver?

Not necessarily. Sometimes the silver plate is missing and seems to have been made that way. Instead there may be a pad of resin where a plate might have been. Hard to tell from your picture if this one had a base plate originally or not.
