Corrado did you get yours from the original finder as I see someone online is selling re casts of an original that are identical to your example ?

I got it some years ago from a collector friend, but do not know where it came from, sorry.

Raf, would these more complex toy petronels have been quite a high end toy at the time ? As I can’t imagine these being cheap when first produced ?

Yes I’ve heard that they have found some in the Thames. My example was found in a field near Newbury, Berkshire in England. I am also in the process of purchasing one found in Scotland so it seems they were produced all throughout the UK.
