Wills (1882) 4 Ypouthered with chapes and scochons..of myn Auncestres armes. ?a1400 Morte Arth. 2522 He bare sessenande in golde thre grayhondes of sable, With chapes & cheynes of chalke whytte sylver. 2. The metal plate or mounting of a scabbard or sheath; particularly that which covers the point. In some early quots. it may mean the scabbard or sheath itself.The following explanations also occur in dictionaries; ‘The transverse guard of a sword for a protection to the hand’ (Fairholt, cited in Ogilvie's Imperial Dict.). Johnson says ‘the catch of any thing by which it is held in its place; as the hook of a scabbard by which it sticks in the belt; the point by which a buckle is held to the back strap’ [citing All's Well ‘the chape of his dagger’]. But here the chape of a dagger appears to be confused with that of a buckle.
