yes mate, the suggestion is certainly right,  nice nik too, it fits into the barrle lock in the top.  there were several different types.
 I'd say yours was 18th to 19th centuary

Stig - what did you use to clean that up - came up looking lovely?!? I know a few people frown upon cleaning stuff - but I would rather see it on display in its all glory than rotting away in a grot box.  Whats your secret?

Nice find
