Description: | A cast copper-alloy toy gun of the petronel type, dating to the 16th-17th centuries.The circular barrel is hollow with an integral stock supporting the barrel and extending behind the barrel at an angle.It is possible that wear at the back of the metal stock indicates a separate wooden stock has now been lost from the tow. There is a circular opening on the right side of the barrel where it joins the stock, presumably to actually fire the toy. A second hole can also be found on the right side of the gun below that of the barrel, near the bottom edge. This may have been used for the mounting of a trigger.
