Shell Guard—mid-17th century. Present only on the outboard side, this guard would
have been mounted on an English hanger, a short sword used by
infantrymen to supplement their muskets for close fighting.
Fragments of these guards are commonly found on 17th-century Virginia sites. This one comes from Jordan's Journey near Hopewell in Prince George County. |
