Context (Amendments / updates)
Two objects were found labelled 1938.966. The record and accession registerer for 1938.933 only describe one chisel. As the other object more closely resembles a chisel, it has been decided this is the correct object for 1938.966, and this object has likely been incorrectly assigned this IDNO. It has therefore been assigned a TEMP number.
