More details of A 732, including material from the Wallace's site showing the latten-inlaid smith's mark on the blade, probably a Gothic minuscule i.

Next:

- another ballock dagger, A 734, the ivory hilt of unusual form with three (?) Gothic/Renissance male heads carved in high-relief, the fullered blade staged and sectioned; the sheath with compartments for the accompanying tools: a knife and a fork with two tines.
