The item testing for sterling silver
Thanks to TubeAmp, Efesgirl, and Kyratango for your expertise and helping me to solve this mystery.
Similar designs are used to hold the bone when carving meat. I'm wondering if this is it's intended purpose.

Yes, T A is correct - it's a bone holder used when carving meat. The screw tightens down on the bone.
Yep, in French "manche à gigot", aka mutton leg handle :-)
Thanks to all for your expertise
