H. NOCK Antique BRASS BARRELED British Proofed FLINTLOCK BLUNDERBUSS Pistol
200+ Year Old WAR of 1812 Close Range Weapon
Here we present an antique Nock of London Marked British Flintlock Blunderbuss Pistol, made circa the early 1800s in London, England. The blunderbuss is a firearm with a short, large caliber barrel. They are flared at the muzzle, frequently throughout the entire bore, and used with shot and other projectiles. The blunderbuss is commonly considered to be an early predecessor of the modern day shotgun, with similar military and defensive use. It was effective only at short range, lacking accuracy at long range. A blunderbuss in handgun form was called a Dragon, and it is from this that the term “Dragoon” evolved. The flintlock blunderbuss was the original coach gun, being a short, handy and devastating weapon at close range. It was used in many capacities, not the least of which were for Naval boarding or defending vessels, stagecoach and messenger companies, home defense and more. The flintlock blunderbuss was the original coach gun, being a short, handy and devastating weapon at close range. It was capable of firing up to 20 buckshot in front of 120 grains of black powder, according to Spencer Tucker in Almanac of American Military History, Volume 1. This particular example could possibly have been used in the War of 1812 on the side that didn’t win!
The overall condition is very good. Strong action. Good bore for its age. The brass is bright with a dark gar patina on the iron. The wood has been revarnished. Markings are legible. This example has a "H/NOCK" marked lock and a "LONDON" marked and proofed barrel. The caliber is estimated at .60 and the muzzle flares to 3/4 inch.
