This knife was accessioned in 2001 under the above number, but has been mistakenly re-accessioned again in 2017. As the 2017 object number marking is far clearer and has been applied using the correct curatorial procedure, I have decided to use the 2017 number as the primary accessions number and remove the 2001 duplicate record on ADLIB. However in the brown accessions book the object is listed under both numbers.
