Other: Collection: for information, the reference was originally given as 64, 5  11,3, with a comment "Wrongly Numbered"; in case the earlier reference is used elsewhere.,  And I've just realised the format for the reference, so please ignore my earlier comments on the numbers being like cardinal points, I now think those on the middle line are those separated by a hyphen in the linear references.,  Width entry reads "48     19"; accompanying drawing makes it clear where the chape is being measured.,  Patina: is bracketed together with Surface entry for the comment about rusty brown; I decided to put this at the end of the Surface entry
Remarks: Inacc. drawing
