It weighs 9.84g.The circular lugs are c.8mm in diameter. Both lug piercings are toward the rear. The wings themselves are C-shaped in section. A tiny projection extends to the rear, behind the bow, presumably the remains of a hook for the spring mechanism.The bow is rather chunky as it extends from the wings on a square platform.
