Lead Pistol flint holder found on the Battlefield between 1980-2005 by a Belgian collector and metal detectorist.

Placed between the jaws of the cock and clamped tight around the flint to prevent it slipping as it hit the striker. These flint holders were sometimes made of leather but the musket ones were usually larger and more robust so i am certain this is one for a pistol. Originally there would have been two one for the top and bottom of the flint.

In overall good uncleaned condition.
