Flint with lead holder

You are absolutely right Adrian, such a stupid mistake of me

Yes the first flintlock was made in 1610 in France... i don't know about the Snaphance locks, but a more likely date would be around 1650-1700.

A rather peculiar item, Marcus,
Can't you get a (even ) more clear picture ?
Sorry the impertinence but, could it be that the piece of lead was already decorated before it was trimmed for the flint holding effect ?
