<p>[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 2347637, member: 1331"]I'm kinda reluctant to destroy bits of it to get a date that would only be a maybe date but I did turn it upside down and give it a thump to see if there was any gunpowder left. Out popped a large 3-4mm x 2-3mm blackish chunk that might be gunpowder. Again, reluctant to light it to test and will send it to the new owner and maybe one day a chemical analysis can be done to localise and date it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]260943[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
