Description:

This large blunderbuss is unmarked aside from a "crown/P" stamp on the heel of the buttplate and an "&" on the trigger guard finial. The flared muzzle measured a little over 2 1/2 inches. The French style lock has a removable brass pan. The lock screw washers are floral patterns. The trigger guard tang and stock have finger grooves. An iron ramrod is fitted below the barrel.

Rating Definition:

Fine with a mix of a period refurbished blue finish and dark brown patina on the barrel and lock, some minor pitting mostly on the cock and breech end of the barrel, dark aged patina on the brass furniture, and mild overall wear. The refinished stock is also fine and has mild dings and scratches, some minor repairs including a pinned repair above the tail of the lock, and a split on the left at the forend tip. The trigger requires manual reset, otherwise, mechanically fine.
