Description: | Wrought iron rondel dagger handle with a cast coppper alloy guard and the remains of the end of the short, single-edged blade. The handle tapers towards the pommel end. There are three rivet holes in the handle which would have held the wooden haft. The dagger is 123.5 mm long, 25 mm wide and 4 mm thick. The guard is flat in profile and oval in plan and is 59 mm long, 20 mm wide and 2.6 mm thick. Ward Perkins (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 45, Plate VIII, Figs. 4 & 5, Nos.A1306 & A1773, which are dated to the latter half of the 15th century.
