Description: | An incomplete and damaged sheet copper alloy dagger chape of probable Post Medieval, seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length 27.0mm, maximum width at the top, 28.0mm and 0.3mm thick. Weight 5.88g.The flattened and damaged sheet is folded so that it overlaps slightly and it is open at both ends. At the top, in its present condition, it is 28.0mm in width and at the bottom it is 21.0mm in width. The front face is partially missing and the bottom edge is in the form of a ragged break. All the breaks are old. The front is decorated with seven horizontal and equally spaced inscribed lines. The reverse is plain and as two circular holes and part of another hole, presumably to accommodate rivets to enable the attachment to a scabbard. Each hole has a diameter of about 1.8mm. Apart from the damage, the piece is in fair condition and most of the outer surface has a mid-green patina.
