Incomplete post medieval iron fork with a bone pistol grip handle AD.1650-1750. This is a two tine fork that is near complete, it has a scale tang with three rivets and a bone handle that has taken on a dark brown/black patination. The tines are side on unlike a modern fork. The handle is shaped like a pistol grip with a bulbous terminal that tapers down to the iron collar. One side of the handle is straight, while the other is straight until it curves outwards to form the weighted terminal. This is a similar item to LON-5171A3 and LON-EEEB45
