Description: | Volute bow, Late 16th century.
This key has a volute bow, which has cracked on one joint with the ferrule. The shank is solid, and measures 135mm. It is 7.9mm at the ferrule, and tapers to 11.9 mm at its widest point, which is just before the collaring. This collaring has been cut to leave a ring at 89mm from the bow end. The pin is straight with a rounded end. It has the faint remains of a ring incised round the end, 3.2mm from the end. The diameter of the pin is 8.9mm along its length. The nose and bit are symmetrical about their dividing line, and each measures 12.8mm across. They are 30 mm long. The key is very slightly bent along its length.,
