This blunderbuss was converted from flintlock and has flared barrel fitted with a spring bayonet above with a release lever/catch at the tang and the muzzle catch absent. The flat bevelled lock is decorated with light scroll engraving and marked "HOLLAND" with a scroll engraved percussion hammer (spur absent) and a safety-catch. The full length stock has checkering at the wrist with iron ramrod tubes, flat buttplate, and triggerguard. The left side of the barrel has two Birmingham proof marks on the left at the breech. The ramrod is absent.

Rating Definition:

About. The blunderbuss features a brown patina on the barrel and a mottled gray-brown patina on the remaining surfaces. The buttplate and bayonet are pitted. The hammer spur is broken off. The wood is good with crisp checkering, various minor dings, scratches, and a split in the forend. The spring is weak on the snap bayonet. The hammer does retract and functions properly.
