Title
KENT-84A052. Ammunition. Musketeers powder charger cap. Side view.
Description
English: 1660-1680. Lead alloy, cast, squashed and damaged powder charger cap. Length 15.2mm, Width 26.3mm, Thickness 16.8mm, Diameter 16.8mm, Weight 13.5g. A powder charger is a flask shaped (possibly wooden) leather covered container which held sufficient gun powder for a single shot. The British Infantry Musketeers uniform had a white bandolier normally worn on the left shoulder from which hung a dozen powder chargers. The two free ends of a looped cord were attached to the top end of the charger, running through a small, lead cup shaped flat bottom cap often described as a powder measure fitted to the powder charger's open end. This is an example with the side loops squashed against the body, unusually this one has a central pellet and concentric circle moulded design on the base. Pale grey surface patina. Ref.
