Yours is a Throat piece or locket. It appears to be for a dagger as it has the eye for a suspension loop.
It's OK to call a bollock dagger by that name.  |
I quite agree, 'chape' and 'sword' were in fact is what the V & A mentioned. Also, they did not explain how 'ME Me" was connected with 'Maria Maria' other than as an invocation.
Kidney dagger is more than likely not what the dagger was originally called.
