Description: | A cast copper alloy bullet mould, with iron elements visible on the front.
It consists of a roughly circular mould, hollow on the reverse for the fabrication of a lead musket ball. There is a knop on the front (with the iron on either side). There is also an extending knop on the base of the mould and two extending knops on the top, which house the spout on their reverse ?? through which the lead would have been poured. Three rivets are also evident on the back as these would have been used to hold the back of the mould in place.
This mould dates to the post-medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
