Description:

This 18th century blunderbuss has a faint "LONDON" mark on top of the barrel, two pairs of proofs on the upper left at the breech, and "CLARKSON" signed on the lock. The muzzle flares to just over an inch at the muzzle, and the bore is estimated above. The furniture is brass and features scroll designs, including a scrolling sideplate, and the wrist escutcheon features a crest with an eagle and snake over a cap of maintenance. The stock has raised relief carved shell carving at the barrel tang.

Rating Definition:

Good with mottled gray patina, light pitting, and worn markings on the iron and attractive aged patina on the brass furniture along with mild wear. The refinished stock is also good and has mild scratches and dings and distinct carving. Mechanically fine.
