Snaphaunce Battery—from a gun-lock plate, referred to as a snaphaunce, a mechanism whereby
a flint held in a cock was struck against a steel battery that was
separate from the pan cover. The snaphaunce gun-lock plate
is commonly found on 17th-century sites in Virginia.
This battery was recovered from Causey's Care, a mid-17th-century site in Charles City County. |
