Description: | A collection of six lead alloy musket balls dating from the 17th to 19th century AD. The balls are all spherical and have no obvious signs of impact, which would distort the balls. They are all c. 15mm diameter, so c. .59 caliber (being 0.59 inches). Most larger shot generally dates from after AD 1644 and is generally late 17th or 18th century in date; both .58 and .60 caliber muzzleloaders were current in 19th century AD.
