Description: | A narrow-bladed, copper-alloy dagger, 127mm in length, 31mm in width and 4mm in section (max) with an ogival form and a single midrib running the length of the weapon. There is evidence of a bevel and sharpening at the butt end but most of the edge is eroded. The butt has two clear rivet holes both damaged and incomplete but with sufficient to indicate a rivet diameter of 5mm. The tip and butt are both damaged and while much of the original surface survives with a dark brown patina, patches have been lost to corrosion. The dagger is similar in form to a dirk or rapier but its length (127mm) defines it as a dagger. It has similarities to daggers of the 'Camerton-Snowshill' tradition. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
