Product description
The late medieval/Renaissance quillon dagger owes its name to the shape of its grip. The dagger was primarily made to parry or block enemy blades in close quarters combat. The sharp pointed blade was ideal for piercing gambesons and chainmail. The dagger is based on an original early 16th century example (ca. 1510-1540) which is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York CityProduct details
