Hello Michael,
Thank you for showing these wonderful examples!
To me it seems quite incredible that such small items have managed to 'live' such a long time! I would have thought that thy would long ago have been discarded when their working life was over. Not only have they survived, but have done so in a beautifully preserved manner.
The detail of the hilt and spanner are very compelling evidence of being contemporary.
Congratulations Michael!
Richard.
