Title
Post Medieval toy gun
Description
English: Post Medieval cast copper alloy toy musket (gun). Cast in one piece with unevenly faceted barrel and angular trigger guard with a small break. The barrel is round with a pronounced muzzle, the hollow barrel would have been loaded with gun powder and shot to be used in play. The vent is small with a square shaped wedge to the right of the pan common to these toys, which may have served as some kind of hold for the match (Egan & Forsyth 2005, 89). The stock has a rounded fore-end and the butt is decorated with ring and dot ornaments. This suggests it is of Egan and Forsyth's Type 2 dated to 1600-1640 (Egan and Forsyth, 2005, Toys, Trifles and Trinkets, Museum of London page 92) . Measures 89.39mm by 17.22mm at the Butt; 7.76mm thick. Weighs 17.68gms
Depicted place (County of findspot) West Sussex
