Description: | Medieval dagger guard made from copper alloy, pointed-oval in shape and curved or crescentic in side view; the cross-section is sub-rectangular. The length is 61mm, the width is 18 mm in the middle and 7 mm at the ends. The weight is 55.66g. The guard curves gently downwards and has a flat central surface with two chamfered long edges. There is a small rectangular hole in the centre of the flat surface and its underside is hollow. There are some deep scratches on the sides of the guard, suggesting a lot of use.Compare HAMP-1D5214, which has been given an early post-medieval date.
