Description: | Late or Post-Medieval dagger or rapier chape made from cast iron sheet which was rolled up to form a tube with one open end while the other was cut into triangles so the points could be bent inside to form a closed terminal. The inside (and possibly the outside as well) had a cu-alloy coating which is proven by the green corrosion residue. Near the open end is one rivet hole which bore the rivet that helped keeping the chape on the sheath. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
