Description: | Medieval Guard of double-edged dagger, pointed oval, 43 x 18mm, with blade slot 28 x 6.5mm. On the lower face shallow triangular impressions at both ends of the slot indicate the true width of the blade, 37mm. On the exterior the upper and lower edges are followed by engraved lines, discontinuous on the upper edge. vertical lines are file marks. The simple form, the lack of rondel or quillons, suggests this may be early, perhaps 12th century (see discussion on sword guards by Bradbury in Biddle Winchester (1990), 1080-1).
