Title
2179 copper alloy toy musket.JPG
Description
English: Fragment of copper alloy toy musket length 76mm, height.33mm, thickness 9mm, weight .37.64g. Hexagonal barrel, the end has been broken, the trigger guard is also broken both are old beaks. The butt has a series of ring and dot decoration. This suggests it is of Egan and Forsyth's Type 2 or 3. The fragment has a circular pan for loading priming powder and a square bulge, common to these toys, which may have served as some kind of hold for the match (Egan & Forsyth 2005, 89). This toy musket has a hollow barrel which would have been loaded with gun powder and shot to be used in play.

Date 1600-1640
