Fire-steel (length 3 7/8 ins), of type very similar to foregoing, [nos 469-471] but with addition at the back of a loose suspension-ring, a pricker, and a small scoop, all hinged on one rivet; top in form of a beast's head, facing backwards, its tongue forming the screwing-spike; slight ornamental engraving; striking-face shows signs of long use. [NB: One of 14 examples (nos. 467 to 480) of varying shapes, all having on their back a thick blunt spike serving to screw a flint firmly in the hammer of a flint-lock gun, and all having also a screw-driver at the bottom. They are clearly intended to be carried on the person, either in the pocket or suspended from the belt, for use in the field. All are from the Near East - four from Turkey, three from Albania, one from Smyrna, and the others from adjacent countries.]
