Object type: TOY
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete post medieval cast copper alloy toy pistol / petronel c.1600-1800. The toy that replicates the match-lock weapons of the 16th century is 67.4mm long with the barrel being hexagonal shaped with elongated sides and tapers gradually to the muzzle end, where there is a ram-rod in the end of the barrel, now corroded and fixed solid. There is a break at the butt end that would probably have been a larger triangular butt, replicating the section that would have been held against the chest when firing this type of weapon in real life. Weight 18.4g. Similar to published record SF7122.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron buckle, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast rectangular frame, apparently of square section though this could be the result of the spalling of corrosion before the discovery of the object. A constriction on one side was perhaps for the pin, and implies the use of the buckle with its shorter sides top and bottom [as described here]. The mass may imply good survival of the metal core, and consequently a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1900. Length: 57.8mm, Height: 78.0mm, Thickness: 7.7mm, Weight: 55.88gms
