just a little question here , wouldn`t silver be a very poor metal for making these suspension chains from ?? , even 800 grade would surely wear away rapidly if dagger was in wear , especially the bottom link to scabbard ring fitting where its just a small single bit. we know daggers took some stick and normal chained daggers are found with bent and buckled connecting links , i would have thought that any grade of silver would wear away rapidly on suspension chains due to the swinging friction between parts, ok on other fittings but chains ?? , maybe on a big chunky chain but on one of these ? or were they not intended to be worn .
