Comprising a single-edged blade, rivets for a scale tang; remains of quillon. 132 grams, 31.5 cm
Acquired 1960s-1990s. Late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister.
This is a weapon rather than a domestic knife, and is depicted, in contemporary iconography, as a sidearm for soldiers and knights. This type of dagger was in use from the 14th to mid-16th century and finds similarities with Hauswehrs used in Eastern Europe during the 15th-16th centuries A.D.
