Kenny Andrew Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 you've got me Colin, what is it, something to do with a fuze? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Looks very interesting. No idea what it could be. Could it be something to do with ordonnance, a powder measure or weight? You should try to enquire at some museums. I'm sure somebody would know. Also the markings should be some indication. Apparently of cast iron? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yes I though it could be a weight of some kind but it was the markings on it that intrigued me, it weighs just under an ounce and the size of an old half penny and 4mm deep it could be brass made or iron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It doesn't look like brass in the picture. Try a magnet - I'm quite sure it is iron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
