Title
Post-medieval : Gunflint
Description
English: A knapped gun-flint from a flintlock musket of post-medieval to modern date. The flint is rectangular in both shape and cross-section though the section is irregular and tapers from one end to the other. The flint is dark blackish-brown in colour with some lighter inclusions.

The object is 28.6mm long, 27.8mm wide, 9.6mm thick and weighs 8.3g.

The flintlock was introduced in the middle of the 16th century and became the main regulation firearm for the British Army during the reign of William III. The knapped flint was used within the musket mechanism to produce a spark and could last between 20-25 shots before it had to be replaced.
