Napkin ring?

Maybe but it seems a bit small for that to me it’s also a bit tapered from the top to the bottom thanks for your input !!

Top part of a knife sheath?

Too smallfor napkin ring, though that was my first tougtht, too.

Cane tip maybe

Well it appears to be sterling...

My question is .... is it hollow ? / Tube ?

Or is it cap like ?

Has it any hallmarks? If yes which ones?

Is it hollow all the way thru?? Or if it is flat like that with a solid end then it may be a leather belt tip.

Here's a pipe band I found a few years ago and a couple of knife band examples.
