Gun Flint?
I have seen a couple of gun flints posted before, and I thought this might be one? Thanks for viewing!

Yep, I'm not positive but I think the honey colored flint ones are French. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right arrow, I get those mixed up myself. The dark or gray flint are English made. But yes that is a gunflint, cool find.
