Record ID: BERK-4E8656
Object type: DAGGER
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blade from an iron scale-tang blade, possibly a dagger of probable early post-medieval date. The blade is single-edged and is damaged and incomplete. There is a slight neck below the tang which may have the location of a guard. The tang is broadly rectangular and tapers from the the blade end towards its terminal. A similar object, (a dagger) has been recorded from London (see LON-BF6593 on this database). The style and type of blade suggests these two objects are broadly comparable; a date of c. AD 1500-1700 is therefore suggested for this object.

Iron unidentified tanged implement. Wrought iron object comprising a tang of length 32mm, now of square section (though this form could arise from corrosion rather than manufacture), and a shouldered triangular 'blade' whose thickness increases from 3.3mm towards its flared end, where it is 8.5mm thick. This expansion is the opposite of the form expected of a bladed tool or weapon, and the generally good condition of the object suggests this is not merely an eccentric effect of corrosion. This reporter considers a function as a specialist craft tool or punch is perhaps the most likely…
