Description: | Cast copper alloy fitting from a musket, pistol or other gun, of 17th to mid 19th century date. A fitting which originally was attached to the bottom of the barrel of a rifle to house the ramrod. The fitting has three inscribed parallel lines running around the barrel of the fitting. The protruding spike would presumably have abutted the rifle butt or similar. The perforated lobe on the upper surface is for attachment to the barrel of the rifle.
