This is a very rare Blunderbuss with the barrel being 22” in length and overall length 35”. Diameter at the muzzle is 2â…ž”. The stock is fitted for a saddle bar for cavalry use. The barrel has two makers or city marks. The overall condition is very good plus with only minor handling marks on the stock. A similar example of this rare gun is pictured in Robert Brooker’s excellent book, Landeszeughaus Graz, Austria. The Wheelock in the book is described as, “Unique Tromblon. Dated approximately 1600-1615”. This Wheelock has the brass collection tag from the F.W. Roebling III Collection, Trenton, N.J. He was a descendant of John Robeling who designed and built the Brooklyn Bridge. This is a real rarity in a Wheelock and has condition and collection history. SOLD Antique: Yes |
