17th century guns - deepdigger - 20th June 2005 Not always, we found some flints at raglan, because of the context we assumed they were civil war flints. the size and shape is a bit of a giveaway too although the art of knapping flint was well lost by the 17th century!! deep 17th century guns - achingknees - 20th June 2005 just to further remove us from scouse bashing... What about Anglo-Saxon flint use (strike-a-lights)? 17th century guns - troll - 20th June 2005 Strike-a-lights in their recognisable forms kick in around the 14th Century. When it comes to flint knapping, up to 1794, gunflints in the UK were a use and discard affair utilising field-found flint. So-called "prismatic" gunflint production was introduced to Kent (yaay!) first in 1794 before becoming a truly massive industry (see Brandon) until the 1850s when the percussion cap was introduced. Would`nt have a clue what Anglo-Saxon strike-a-lights would look like...would love to know please........ 17th century guns - deepdigger - 21st June 2005 Nor me! never seen one!! deep |
