Description:
From the late 1600s, the Blunderbuss was the weapon of choice for close quarters combat and personal defense, as its short barrel and wide mouth made loading while on horseback, riding in a carriage, or aboard a pitching ship’s deck easier to manage. The term blunderbuss is of Dutch origin, from the Dutch word donderbus, which is a combination of donder, meaning "thunder," and bus, meaning "Pipe."
This iron barrel flintlock blunderbuss has a 14 ¾ inch barrel, 13 inch flip bayonet, brass trigger guard thimbles and butt plate. (THEOPs RICHARDs) marked lock and barrel. Barrel held with two wedges. 1 1/8 bore. Barrel is British proofed. Very Good condition.
