Frizzen - GRPO 17801

Large Musket Frizzen

Large ferrous metal musket frizzen; the bottom loop attaching it to the lock plate has been shorn off, but when struck by a flint to generate sparks, the frizzen would rotate forward to expose the priming powder that would be ignited by the falling sparks. This piece was recovered by park archeologists in 2007.
