| Description |
English: An incomplete post medieval iron scale tang knife probably dating to the late 17th-18th century. The knife has a 'pistol grip' handle which suggests an 18th century date. There are four rivets on the ivroy handle securing it to the blade. The blade is thicker on the top edge and tapers to the blade edge. The blade has straight edges, tapering to a point at the end. There is a lump of corrosion product just below a maker's mark. The maker's mark is a star/asterisk motif with the number "29" beneath.
Pistol grip knives are believed to dominate in the late 17th and early 18th centuries (Brown, 2001, 101). Some similar knives are noted throughout (pages 102-109) though the designs are more elaborate and constructed of different materials. Similar examples can be found on the PAS database: LON-9BB976 and SUR-552EC8 Dimensions: length: 172.53 mm; width: 22.92 mm; thickness: 3.81; weight: 67.78g. Reference: Brown, P. 2001.
