Exactly, 'Nando,


That's why I said 'Napoleonic era, early 19th c.', not confining it to the French army.

And I found a lot more interesting stuff on the site of the Canadian Anglo-Boer War Museum, backing up my theory about the period:

Your ball looks very authentic, Cerjak! I do not think it is a modern Chinese copy.
