Title
Bronze Age Dirk (Probably)
Description
English: A fragment of a probable dirk blade of late Bronze Age date. The cast copper alloy fragment measures 37.9mm by 28.4mm by 4.9mm and weighs 14.99g. It has a long elliptical cross-section and two longitudinal facets on each side, at the point where the blade begins to thin. As the edges are parallel this fragment is likely to come from a dirk rather than a rapier or sword.
