this extremely rare roundel dagger was found in a channel in Damme near Bruges in Belgium together with a Ballock dagger.
tapering single edged blade with concave/hollow ground surfaces, thick disks with circle and dot decoration of two different sizes. spirally shaped handle and quatrefoil decoration brass washer under the tang button. all in a unharmed Original condition a similar type of dagger is depicted on an altar piece from 1469. Although many rondel daggers remain to be shown in art, there have been only a very few preserved. |

thank you, very nice it of a different type and a bit later than the one under discussion, but you can see some interesting details like the parry plate. a parry plate with crescent shaped recess and serrated edge came around 1500. best, jasper Last edited by cornelistromp; 8th January 2014 at 01:23 PM. |

an extraordinarily beautiful ballock dagger with spiral grip and Multi-section blade , a waterfind in Holland.
since the blade is single edged it could go on as a knife and so avoid the city prohibition orders against carrying a dagger within the citywalls ! |
