Looks like the tip of a leather belt.

Thanks for the reply. It is a good idea, but might be not flat enough I guess

Some similarities with these three chapes in the Museo Storico della Caccia e del Territorio. For 14th century swords according to a short writeup in the book A Bon Droyt.

These are the typical finds from metal detectoring. You keep seeing people trying to sell as a treasure, and after some months you see them at discount, and finally buy them for 5 or 6 euros a piece. And the seller does not tell you where did he find them...
The belt ends (which often go in the same lots) are different because they do not surround the leather, they have just a couple of pins gping through. Last two pieces. These are all probably Spanish. Mostly for daggers. I am not sure if there is a systematic research work on them. They must be massive productions. I am not sure about yours, as it is flat on the reverse. If pins go through the space, it cannot be a chape. Last edited by midelburgo; 14th April 2024 at 08:28 PM. |

Metal detectors try to find latrines because they tend to have a concentration of lost items. Good to know it's not what I thought it was.

Fits perfect! Thanks for the images! Indeed they appear somehow often (at least compared to the related appropriated weapon
 ). I guess they got lost pretty easy from the scabbard
