Description: | Iron dagger.Blade of flattened rhomboid section with a whittle tang of tapered rectangular section; the latter inserted through an iron hilt-guard with two forward-curving quillons. Corroded overall; the object has been lacquered, and the blade recently mended with filler or putty in two places. The rough and ready appearance of the object suggests it may be an example of low-quality mass-produced 'ammunition' military issue, rather than a personal side-arm. Suggested date: Post Medieval; 16th-to-17th-century.Length: 286mm, Width (at quillons): 75mm, Max blade Width: 25mm, Max blade Thickness: 7.5mm.
