Description: | An incomplete Post-Medieval (AD 1650-1800) toy pistol. The toy consists of the butt,which is decorated with diagonal lines, barrel and lock which is cast in an elaborate foliate style. The long cylindrical barrel is hollow and the end appears to be missing. It is cast in a mininum of two pieces, with the butt then attached to the trigger section; however it is possible that this is a later repair. It measures 80.2 mm long, 21.5 mm wide, 11.2 mm thick and weighs 41.6 g.The form resembles that of toy petronels or cavalry pistols reported from London, where a 17th-century date is suggested (Forsyth and Egan 2005, page 97, no. 1.39).
