Description: | A Post Medieval cast copper alloy toy musket (gun). Cast in one piece with unevenly faceted barrel and angular trigger guard with a small break. The barrel is round with a pronounced muzzle, the hollow barrel would have been loaded with gun powder and shot to be used in play. The vent is small with a square shaped wedge to the right of the pan common to these toys, which may have served as some kind of hold for the match (Egan & Forsyth 2005, 89). The stock has a rounded fore-end. Possibly Egan and Forsyth's Type 2 dated to 1600-1640 (Egan and Forsyth, 2005, Toys, Trifles and Trinkets, Museum of London page 92). The musket is 75.4mm long, 20.5mm wide, 6.5mm thick and weighs 14.4 grams.
