Sword belt hook

[AHorsa]

There recently was a similar piece in renaissance style described as a key hook for holding keys at the belt:

ebay descriptions can be quite fanciful. i get some good items that mislabelled, and do not show up in most collectors searches. one of my favourites was a burmese presentatation dha with a silver inlaid blade ebay called an egyptian machete, got it for under a tenner. i told the vendor what it really was, she said her idiot son had told her that was what he thought it was.

I'm not sure that this description is correct
(EUR 233,00 is too much for "key holder" )

Interesting. I have seen a hook like this for sale somewhere (can't recall where) when it was described as a carbine hook for bandoleer worn across the chest by cavalry.
