Description: | Lead shot. Cast ball with a narrow thickened circumferential rib, which indicates it was intended for use with a rifled weapon. Patinated. The thickened rib is characteristic of the ball used with the Brunswick rifle, which came into use in the first half of the 19th century. This ball, however, is much smaller, and is probably for a rifled light fowling piece or 'rook and rabbit' gun. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1830-1860.Diameter (at belt): 12.2mm, Thickness (clear of rib): 11.3mm, Weight: 8.45gms
