✅ SOLVED Tip of a flagpole?????

[Horst]

I found this in the same field I found my 4 Heller 1768 coin. There is a little crown visible just above the wedge holding the metal to the wood. There is still rotten wood inside. Unfortunately it has been squashed. Does anybody have an idea what it is and maybe how old

I think it's a scabbard tip / finial.

What size is it?

Scabbard tip.

AKA Chape.

 

[Horst]

it is about 3 7/8" approx 9.5 cm long and it was about 1" x 7/8" approx 2.5 cm x 2 cm where the wedge is holding the wood.

Is a German scabbard tip.

Let me look for sure.

Looks like maker or acceptance Mark's near staple. Give it a lick & take a focused pic before it dries.

Bayonet possibly.

Maybe a German Police Dagger
