I'm reading an old book from 1901 and the author refers to an object as a brass "ditto". Does anyone have a clue what that might be? The word does not appear anywhere in the text with its usual meaning (repetition) so I think this is an old word that has dropped out of usage. Given the context it seems like it should be a sword, dagger, spear, or knife... has anyone heard of 'ditto' being defined in this manner?
Thanks in advnace for your ideas.
