Hollow tube of wood, part of pattern shape with matching pattern mold of wood, anonymous, c. 1590 - c. 1596 Canvas Print
Hollow wooden tube, part of pattern shape with matching pattern mold of wood. Description NM-7769-1 and NM-7769-2. The mold served to make a paper pattern in which the load of gunpowder and the bullet for a shot could be prepared. Gunpowder and bullet were fixed by means of a wire. To load his firearm, the gunman did not have to do more than bite off the bottom of the cartridge and stomp the cartridge with bullet and all in the barrel of his weapon. The military musket was not loaded with so much precaution in the fight, the bullet went loose in the barrel, possibly wound with a piece of cloth or a piece of paper. If one wanted to shoot over some distance, careful loading was necessary, hence probably the presence of this device in the Behouden Huys.
