Thanks for the information and the post. Reminds me of the Chinese Meteor Ball, and the Japanese Kusari Fundo, but with a distinctive and elegant shape all of its own. Apparently Victorian muggers used the ball version, striking for the elbow from behind to disable the victim.

Reminds me somewhat of the bicycle chain, popular with gangs shortly after the war.
