Description: | Part of a copper alloy multi-component three-dimensional toy pistol. The stock, barrel, ramrod pipe and pan have been cast in one piece and there are four holes in the stock; three for the lock mechanism and one for the ramrod [both missing] A long tapering butt terminates in an octagonally fluted ovoid pommel. The faceted barrel has a punched dotted wavy line pattern along the top. There is a trace of iron fittings under the barrel, presumably related to the mechanism. Similar toy pistols of this type from London are dated to the mid 17th century by Forsyth and Egan (2005, 99-103).
