Description
English: A large fragment of copper alloy toy musket length 74.70mm, height.28.20mm, thickness 10.84mm, weight 33.6g. 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 Egan and Forsyth, 2005, Toys, Trifles and Trinkets, Museum of London
