Description

A single bronze blade is shown upright on a pale card mount. The blade tapers to a point at the top and narrows into a long, uneven tang below, with swellings along its length. The metal is dark and corroded with a mottled surface, and a small handwritten mark sits in the top left corner of the mount.

Description, scan 2: A long, slender metal blade with a pointed tip and a narrower tang at the upper end, photographed vertically against a plain background. The surface shows dull, uneven patches and a faint central ridge. The cut-out photograph sits on a pale card mount, with a pencil outline drawn around the upper part of the blade and a small pencil mark at the lower right.
Description, scan 3: Four long, pointed blades with central ridges and narrow tangs are laid side by side, all pointing upwards, against a pale grey background. The surfaces are darkened and corroded, with some pitting and broken edges on the two left blades, and the tangs differ in length and shape. Handwritten number labels appear at the top and bottom, and the print sits on a card mount with a pale border.
Description, scan 4: Two long metal objects lie side by side on pale cut-out card mounts against a cream background. Each has a broad, pointed blade at the top that narrows into a long, slender tang, with a dark, corroded surface. The left tang is kinked and bent, while the right one is straighter and thinner.
