Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy dagger quillon of late medieval to early post-medieval date, that is dating from c. AD1400-1600. The quillon is roughly diamond-shaped and has a central oval tang hole and on either side there is a quillon that expands to form a faceted terminal. Rising from the junction between the quillon and the tang hole is an openwork guard which is still complete if slightly bent. It may have been semi-circular, trifurcate or, most likely, heart-shaped. The quillon is concave on one side and convex on the other. It is similar in form to No.628, illustrated in Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' (2001, 76). Similar examples are also recorded on the PAS database as BERK-901236, KENT-967C97, WMID-15E835 and NARC-9A4935. The present example shows hardly any wear at all.
