New find - any ideas what it is?

bout2break · Jul 12, 2013

Found this using metal detector by old road bed. Its very heavy - maybe bronze/brass not sure. Any ideas on what it might be? Thanks for any help.

Try the what is it section. In the Our Discoveries section. They will be able to identify it pretty quickly.

Looks to be a sword blade guard. The part between the blade and the handle

might have also been at the top of throat for a sword/knife scabbard, depending upon length.

I'd roll with that one.

That sounds like a better idea then a blade guard
