Description: | Two lead alloy pistol balls of post-Medieval date, circa mid 17th century. Both balls are quite small and one (the larger of the two) has fragmented slightly. This example is 13.4mm diameter and weighs 8.6 grams, while the smaller, neater example is 12.1mm diameter and weighs 10.6 grams. Casting seams can be seen on both examples, and the smaller of the two has the remains of the casting spur, where lead was poured into the mould the clipped. The weight and size of both musket balls suggests they would have been used in a small pistol. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
