Description:
With a caliber about .62 Cal, 7 1/8” swamped (almost a blunderbuss type) octagon, smoothbore barrel with minor oxidation throughout. The barrel has some small dings and other impact and handling marks. Measuring overall 13 1/2" and the octagonal barrel is 7 1/8". The brass parts all have some light ochre patina mixing with darker spots of tarnish. The iron parts retain much of their original blue and are blending to a mottled brown. The checkered walnut stock rates good and has the usual dings and other handling marks seen with a well-used piece of this vintage, along with some small chips and repairs. The checkering around the grip is wearing smooth but is still present, there is some fine silver wire inlay on either side of the upper tang and top of the wrist. Most of the silver on the right side is intact, the inlay on the left side is missing a little more than half of its silver wire. The grip features an oval shaped brass cap that has several small impact marks; the triggerguard, ramrod ferrules, and flower-shaped escutcheons rate more toward excellent. The brass lock and the underside of the iron tang are each stamped with a small “B”, the lock functions very well.. The hammer of small form, works well ans the flint showers sparks on the frizzen . A period ebony tipped ramrod is included.This is a very attractive looking piece that may have belonged to a wealthy gentleman or ship's captain with a brass barrel. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You[JB1]
