Title
MIddle Bronze Age rapier (probably)
Description
English: A fragment of Middle Bronze Age (c.1600-1000 BC) rapier or spear, consisting of the very tip of the object only. It measures 23.71x8.22x3.09mm and weighs 1.44g.

At the flat, old break the cross-section is diamond-shaped. The surface of the metal has a smooth brown patina with pitting marks. The object is slightly bent in profile and has a prominent mid-rib.

Peter Reavill comments "I think I prefer this as a rapier as the central rib shouldn't go to the tip - unless there is an oval in the bottom of the section which would be the tip of the socket" (March 2014 pers.comm.).
