Description: | A cast copper alloy trigger guard from a post medieval firearm, probably a musket. The trigger guard, which has been bent slightly out of shape, measures 128.83mm in length, 14.63mm in width, 2.4mm in thickness and it weighs 21.39g. At one end there is a moulded trefoil decoration and a rounded section with a central perforation, for attaching to the firearm. The ninety degree bend adjacent to this is original. The central section the trigger guard has parallel sides and the external face is slightly convex. Again the ninety degree bend at the end of this section is original and the trigger guard then narrows slightly. The end is broken so the means of attachment is missing. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
