Unknown item - snaffle bit?

[Sajen]

Thank you both for comment! That the item has nothing to do with horses someone written by mail, so you are correct Jim.
Interesting suggestion Joe. Hope one day someone recognized the item.

I think it's something from which to hang your security pass.
Best wishes

Without knowing the size this is a bit of a guess but perhaps a chatelaine (so Richard's guess not far off)

Thank you Richard and Drd,

Maybe you both on a correct path, a friend suggested that it could be a necklace from a priest to wear a big cross.

If we knew how big this is it may help. Obviously the "key" is designed to be able to rotate for some reason. If the size is right maybe it could be a chain for a fob watch.

Hi Stu, you are correct, the "key" is designed to rotate. But on the other hand it's heavy with 377 gram. It's approx. 42 cm long, see picture.

Hi Detlef,
So it is obviously too long (and heavy) to be a Fob Watch chain. If, as has been suggested, that it is some kind of necklace, why the necessity for the "revolving key"? It does not seem logical to me for the need of this even if something heavy was to be hung on it. I could be quite wrong here but that is just my thoughts.
