Sterling Silver handle Leg/Bone holder
This item came from an estate sale which the seller didn't know anything about the item. The item was laying beside some other flatware pieces
The item measures 8 inches in length
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 :-)
