Title
KENT-4104BA: Post Medieval copper alloy toy gun
Description
English: A Post Medieval copper alloy Toy Gun of 17th Century date. The toy has been cast in one piece and has a 'fishtail' butt, faceted barrel (hollow), open pan and rectangular trigger guard. Decorative hatches can be seen on the back of the butt.

Length: 107.8mm; width: 28.2mm; weight: 7.3mm thick and weighs 40.7 grams.

Several similar toy muskets were found in excavations in London and were dated to the early 17th century, based on their distinctive design (Forsyth and Egan 2005: 89 - 97). These guns were functioning pieces which, with the addition of gunpowder, would have been capable of firing small projectiles.
