Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Piece of worked flint from a flintlock gun mechanism. The flintlock was introduced in the middle of the 16th century but it wasn't until the reign of William III that the flintlock became the main regulation firearm for the British Army. The knapped flint was used within the musket mechanism to produce a spark and would last between 20-25 shots before it had to be replaced. The flint is roughly rectangular in both plan and cross-section though the section tapers from one end to the other, with all four edges showing working. The flint weighs 6.93g and measures 30.32mm in length, 20.07…
