Arkivhistorik
MERL ‘Associated information’ form – ‘Said to be pike spear by Curator of Gloucester Museum. This is doubtful as it is far too small for spearing pike in salmon or trout hatcheries. It is I believe (JGJ) a flounder spear (See No 41 in Severn Fisheries guide Temp Exhibition MERL 1956).’
