Copper alloy dagger. Cast dagger hilt incorporating short opposed quillons angled in a shallow S-shape when viewed in plan springing from a rounded central block with a central trapezoid slot for a narrow thick V-section blade [7.3mm by 12.7mm], and with a shell or fan-shaped projection from one other side of the central block and a moulded rib on the last side opposite the latter. The block and quillons are decorated by deeply incised chevrons with a field of angled cuts on both sides; three deep cuts also confer texture on the upper surface of the fan-shaped element.

An incomplete copper-alloy dagger guard (quillon) dating to the medieval period, c.AD 1200-1400. The guard consists of a central block from which two arms project, one to each side and an incomplete hand guard or finger stop projecting from one of the long edges. The central block is a pointed oval in plan with slightly expanded squared-off tips at. At its centre is a rectangular aperture with rounded corners. The two arms project from the ends of the oval and curve into opposing arcs. Each arm is broadly oval in plan, with one terminating in a rounded end and the other…

Complete Post Medieval copper alloy possible sword or dagger pommel, c. 1400-1600 AD. The pommel is broadly circular in plan with a central oval perforation (diameter: 7.17mm) on the upper face matched by a rectangular perforation (diameter: 6.73mm) within a central projection on the opposing side. An incised circle surrounds this projection. The artefact has a greenish brown patina and is heavily dented, possibly due to post-depositional factors or possibly due to a faceted design. No exact parallels have been found, but shares common features with other pom…

A copper alloy fragment of a blade, probably a dagger or rapier, dating to the late Bronze Age (c.1200-800 BC). The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan and narrows slightly to one end. It has a shallow lentoid cross-section. At the mid point, the blade tapers towards the cutting edge at each side. Each end terminates with a break that is worn and patinated, which suggests it was broken in antiquity. The surface is smooth with a dark brown patina. Dimensions: Length 36.9mm; width 25.9mm; thickness 6.2mm; weight 22.43g

A hemispherical cast copper alloy mount, probably an end cap from the pommel of a late medieval to early post medieval rondel / roundel dagger. The cap is 20.3mm in diameter and has radial moulded ridges with a small central perforation. This may have fitted to the end of an iron tang. For an example of a fitting like this in situ on a star-shaped pommel of 15th-16th century date see SUR-964C87.

A late Middle to early Late Bronze Age (1500 - 1100 BC) copper alloy dirk. The butt is oval in form with shoulders that curve inwards to the narrow blade. Two rivet holes to the bottom of either side would secure the hilt in place, both of which are now truncated with only the top of the hole remaining. The cross-section of the blade is oval with sides that gradually taper to the point. Post depositional corrosion has resulted pitting on the surface, but otherwise this item is in very good condition with only the tip of the blade and extremities of the rear missing. Dirks and rapie…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy probable dagger (or knife) guard, probably of medieval to Post medieval date (about AD 1350 - 1650). The guard is sub rectangular in cross-section, with a large elongated knop extending from one end. This is possibly part of a mostly missing quillon. The upper face of the guard is flat, but the lower is extended in the centre and curved, with a slight kick at each end (biconcave). This makes the front and back faces sub-triangular. There is a thickened border along the top edge of the both main faces. The centre of the guard is decorated with t…
