Something a whole lot more rare item is attached on the gunbelt looped over a cartridge etc... I wasn't sure what thread to attach it to ...scuse pun... but this one may suffice ..I speak of the group of strikers on the left below, which make sparks when struck against the flintstone as seen on far left. Close ups follow.

Here are some close ups... The historically correct shapes seem to follow the European form of striker seen below with turned back finials.. possibly due to Ottoman and or Portuguese influence although I am not entirely certain that such strikers were used as cannon igniters here or simply as fire lighting items.

Here is an Omani gun belt I have in my collection, complete with original foil 577/450 ammunition (plus some extras).
