BLADE

Unique ID: WMID1184

Object type certainty: Possibly

There are currently no images available.

Possibly an iron blade. The item is an elongated shape. The upper long edge is 6.98mm thick, which then tapers to the lower long edge. The lower long edge is abraded and becomes more narrow at one end. At this more narrow end the thickness of the item is more constant and does not taper, therefore could possibly be the shaft for fixing the handle.
