This is a highly detailed 1/4 scale copy of a 18th century brass barrel flintlock blunderbuss with a functioning lock. This piece was handmade by Stan Blashak and shows all the major attributes of British made blunderbusses from the period. The lock has light engraving, as does most of the brass furniture. The silvered wrist escutcheon is marked "B". Includes a hardwood case that is fitted for the blunderbuss as well as an included miniature silvered powder horn. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with the brass showing an attractive lightly aged patina, the remaining metal mostly bright, and only the slightest handling evidence. The case and powder horn are also excellent.
