Description: | A copper alloy hilt plate from an iron whittle-tanged knife. The hilt plate is slightly concave and has roughly parallel sides that narrow to a point at each end of the plate. Just off-centre there is a rectangular slot perforation for the tang of the knife to pass through (dimensions of slot: length: 4.15mm; width: 1.66mm). It is manufactured from a sheet of copper alloy and now has a mid-green matt patina. It is similar to one found in Winchester no. 2867 (Biddle 1990:861 fig.259). However on this example both ends are pointed and the slot is smaller than no. 2867. Length: 31.69mm; width: 12.48mm; thickness: 1.06mm; weight: 1.67g.
