Description: | Lead Musket Ball. Cast ball with a pronounced flattened circumferential belt from set up, and a flattened face either from impact on a hard target at close range, or from contact with another element of a multiple load. Lightly patinated overall. The sequence of forces effecting it may have distorted the final diameter of the ball as was measured. The mass, at over one ounce, suggests this was used with a muzzle loading smoothbore firearm of military specification. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 19.1mm, Length: 13.1mm, Weight: 29.81gms
