English D. Egg Marked Flintlock Blunderbuss with Snap Bayonet

Manufactured c. 1820 and signed "-D-EGG-LONDON-" on the Birmingham proofed barrel implying production by Swiss born English gunmaker Durs Egg (1748-1831). The barrel flares to about 1 3/8 inches at the muzzle (gauge above estimated) and is equipped with a folding "snap" bayonet marked "IM" on the base and secured by a sliding catch on the upper tang. The lock is unmarked and has light engraving. The brass furniture has light floral engraving. The stock has a checkered wrist.

ConditionFine overall with attractive aged patina on the brass, traces of case colors on the lock, mottled gray and brown patina on the lock and bayonet, broken safety lever, crisp markings and engraving, mostly crisp fine checkering, a few general dings and scratches on the metal and otherwise fine wood, and small divot to the left of the ramrod entry pipe. Both the bayonet mechanism and the lock are mechanically fine. Provenance: The Malcolm King Collection.
