Inner part of pattern mold consisting of rectangular block and stick, anonymous, c. 1590 - c. 1596 Canvas Print

Inner part of a pattern template consisting of a rectangular block with a straight stick with a round cross section. Part of pattern shape. Description NM-7769-1 and NM-7769-2. The mold served to create a paper cartridge in which the load of gunpowder and the bullet could be prepared for a shot. Gunpowder and bullet were fixed by means of a wire. The shooter didn't have to do more to load his firearm than bite off the bottom of the cartridge and stamp the cartridge with bullet and all in the course 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 paper. If one wanted to shoot over some distance, careful loading was necessary, hence probably the presence of this device in the Behouden Huys.
