The bore of this large blunderbuss from the late 17th century measures 1 3/4 inches at the muzzle and has only light flare from around 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inches for the main bore. Given the large size, it may have been meant to be fitted as a swivel gun. The barrel is marked with a "*/GT" marking at the breech along with London proof and view marks. The breech ring has a sighting notch. The furniture is brass. The wrist escutcheon is engraved with a profile of a man. Other components have floral engraving. The lock is signed "TAYLOR" and has floral engraving, a bird head shaped dog catch, horizontally acting sear, tumbler with half and full-cock positions, and a heart stamped on the inside of the lockplate. The stock has the distinctive early style rounded heel and nail fitted buttplate.
