The bore of this large blunderbuss from the late 17th century measures 1 3/4 inches at the muzzle and has only light flare from around 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inches for the main bore. Given the large size, it may have been mean to be fitted as a swivel gun. The barrel is marked with a "*/GT" marking at the breech along with London proof and view marks. The breech ring has a sighting notch. The furniture is brass. The wrist escutcheon is engraved with a profile of a man. Other components have floral engraving. The lock is signed "TAYLOR" and has floral engraving, a bird head shaped dog catch, horizontally acting sear, tumbler with half and full-cock positions, and a heart stamped on the inside of the lockplate. The stock has the distinctive early style rounded heel and nail fitted buttplate.

Fine with a coat of varnish over the metal giving it a dark brown coloration and aged patina on the brass. The engraving and markings are mostly distinct. There is some mild pitting on the lock. The refinished stock is very good and has a repair visible through the wrist and mild scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
