Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy dagger guard, probably 17th - 18th century dateThe dagger guard is incomplete, missing one of the terminals (with a surviving length of 89.9mm and a weight of 43.5mm). The surviving terminal is rounded (16.8mm diameter) with moulded decoration on both sides (9.0mm thick). It is unclear what the decoration is depicting. The arm is of sub-rectangular section. The central part is oval (41mm long, 25.5mm wide and 7.2mm thick) with vertical ribbing along the edge. The central aperture for the blade is rectangular (15.4 x 8.4mm). The incomplete arm is also of sub-rectangular section and is broken immediately before the terminal. The terminal would have curved in the opposite direction to the surviving terminal. The guard has lost much of the original surface, where it survives it has a dark green patina with small areas of silvering surviving.
