FLINTLOCK BRASS BARRELED ENGLISH BLUNDERBUSS BY BROWN. 14″ octagon to round brass bbl with 1-1/2″ at flare at muzzle. Bbl is marked “London” and has English bbl proofs. Original flint lock is marked “Brown” and is held in place by two screws and no sideplate. Bbl is held to stock with two bbl wedges and the bone tip ramrod has two ramrod ferrules. Walnut stock has checkered wrist. Buttplate is engraved brass. CONDITION: The forward 5″ of the forestock was broken off at one time and repaired using the original wood. This is a very old repair and does not detract from the appearance of the gun. There was also a break completely through the wrist which also broke off the back tang of the trigger guard. This was repaired using a series of dowels through the top of the wrist and a wood screw through the trigger guard. This repair is unfortunately more noticeable but is an in-period repair. Otherwise the gun is complete and presents a pleasing appearance. 4-35847 RGG43 (1,500-2,500)
