 Now preserved in the Norwich Museum is another falchion of about the same period (Fig. 158) that was found in dredging the river Thorpe about the year 1833. Its entire length is 39 inches, with a wheel pommel and quillons of brass very crudely engraved; on one side of the blade is inlaid in copper an armourer's mark, a crown. It is fully described in Archaeologia, vol. xxvii, pp. 435-437.

Showing the falchion, used in combination with the bosse or small circular shield. The dagger of the farther knight is worthy of scrutiny. Collection: Author's
