Description: | A Post Medieval end-cap of ascale-tang knife. the object is oval in plann and rectangular in cross section. Engraved on both faces is + 52+ . It is thought that the + could indicate the figure 1 as is tyhe case on the example recorded as DOR-55A6C1. This would date the end cap to 1521. For broadly similar caps see Read 2001 no.s 654 and 657.Other known examples of dated end-caps are very similar and all fall within the 1520s: 1523, East Walton (Norfolk Historic Environment Record number 34758), 1526, Old Hunstanton (NHER 1270), Thornham (NHER 50008), Darrington, West Yorkshire (Portable Antiquities Scheme database number SWYOR-5D26F3) and Gussage All Saints, Dorset (PAS DOR-55A6C1). An example of slightly different shape found at Collingham, Nottinghamshire (PAS DENO-347DD1) is dated 1521.
