Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy hilt guard from a dagger, pierced for a rectangular-section tang. The guard has two quillons on either side of the quillon block, one is short and the other incomplete but would probably have been at least another two centimetres longer. There is also a semi-circular knuckle guard or bow on one side of the quillon block.Williams in S.A.C. No.86 (1999) illustrates a similar hilt guard on page 189, Fig.12, No.111, which is dated from the 17th century to the 18th century.Wilkinson (1967) illustrates similar hilt guards on an English dagger in Plate 57 (centre) and on a French dagger in Plate 59 (left), which are both dated to the early 17th century, but these both have single side rings and no knuckle guard or bow.
