It looks to me like a Silver Decorative Oval Belt Mount, possibly for for suspending a sword scabbard from a baldric, yours looks to have the Fixing missing. The one below is a plain type.
I agree with it being very old.....thats why I scratched my head at the cherob remark......one thing for sure is its very waorn on the pattern side but not on the inside from what I see.

This looks like a very good probability. I thumbed through some of the records on the UK database, including the one you referenced. These objects do look very similar, but all of the records I saw had a rounded hook and none of them were silver.

Yes I to noticed none were Silver, and like you said it is similar but not 100%, but if it's not a belt mount fot that use, I would say it is a Oval mount for another use.
Wow, you are good. I love that website, and dig through it to ID things fairly often. But this little guy threw me for a complete loop.
So now that we know what it was, how exactly was it incorporated into use? this sort of relic is something I have never come across. How did it attach to a sword, and what else would it have been attached to?

If it is one, it would have been attached to the Sword Belt mount.
