Hi Marcus,

That clod shot incites me!
Right now that my computer man provided with a provisional email until Outlook will work again:
Please do email me that illustration and let me know whether it is the same group discussed in

Jan Piet Puype & Harm Stevens: Arms and Armour of Knights and Landsknechts, in the Netherlandish Army Museum.
Delft, 2010. ISBN 978-90-5972-413-6, pp. 334-9.

In the book, it says 1375, though ...

Please see top five attachments - and my thread:

The two last attachments depict 15th c. stone shot consisting of quartzite and black flint; Puype/Stevens, p. 332f.

Marcus, all considered, there seems to be a high probability that your item, too, consists of quartzite.

Thanks, and best,
Michl
