Description: | A cast lead 'Firle type' musket ball. This type of musket ball is said to have been developed for use in the Firle area. It was soon discovered that they were not as effective as the designer thought they would be so production discontinued. The musket ball is roughly spherical in shape, with a large pellet projecting from 'the top' and 'the bottom' of the ball. Around the centre of the circumference of the musket ball is a series of rectangular pellets. This musket ball weighs 36.4g.
