Hello all,
 
Can anyone recommend sources that formally define and describe (e.g.,
diameter, weight, shape, etc.) of 17th-18th c. ball/shot varieties, such as:
swan shot, Bristow, Calliver bore, Dutch, East India bore, Mould Goose,
Pistoll bore, Plover, and Drop no. 1?
 
I have consulted M.L. Brown's Firearms in Colonial America (1980), T.M.
Hamilton's Indian Trade Guns (1982), H. L. Peterson's Arms and Armor in
Colonial America (1956), and T.M. Hamilton's Colonial Frontier Guns (1980),
but found no fully adequate descriptions.
 
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
 
 
Thank You,
 
Charles Heath
