Andrew Dolep Brass Barreled Flintlock Blunderbuss with Root Wood Stock

Manufactured circa 1700. Andrew Dolep/Dollop is listed as working at St. Martin’s Lane, “East Side below ye Church” 1685 to 1690, then “Next Duke’s Court” 1691-1713. The brass barrel is of two stages flaring towards the muzzle and is struck with London proof marks and maker’s stamp on the octagonal to round breech section. It has a plain iron tang. The border engraved rounded iron lock has a downturned tail and is signed “DOLEP.” The molded, root wood stock has a raised apron around the barrel tang and is fitted with scroll engraved brass furniture. Wooden ramrod with dark horn tip. Bore estimated.

ConditionVery good. The barrel has age related storage and handling marks and some shallow pressure dents. The tang and lock each display a dark grey mottled patina. The signature is worn. The furniture has clear engraving. The refinished stock is also very good and has numerous scattered age related storage and handling marks, bruises and blemishes, some cracks, and a repair at the tip of the forearm. Mechanically excellent.
