One of the first instances of the quillon dagger represented in detail is that to be seen on the effigy of Sir Roger de Kerdeston in Reepham Church, Norfolk, about 1335 (Fig. 725). Here are shown a decorated hexagonal wheel pommel, a faceted grip, and straight quillons; but, as the latter are somewhat damaged, their original form is difficult to make out.
