No further details. It came up on my Pinterest feed, and people on there are notorious for mangling information.
I just thought it was nice work.Although it is interesting to look at I don't know that posting a picture of it without any information about it serves much purpose.
It’s of a type used on King Henry 8th’s ship Mary Rose. I have a friend who has made a couple of replicas. As long as the wedge is in tight, there aren’t too many problems with escaping gases.

It could certainly HOLD corned powder, but it would probably blow up as soon as it was lit.They were called barrels as they were made from slats held with those bands shrunk on. They were fired with serpentine powder. Could it hold corned powder?
As stated previously, as long as the wedge is tight, there isn’t too much of a problem with gas leakageI reckon there would be a thick leathern gasket between the mug and the back of the breech. I think it would have been the gas leakage that would have beat them in the finish. That was not solved until the metallic cartridge came along.
