INLAID Antique Ornate OTTOMAN/ASIAN Style “MIQUELET” Flintlock BLUNDERBUSS
Historic Naval Ship Boarding and Coach Gun!
Here we present an antique Ornate Ottoman/Asian Style Flintlock Blunderbuss, made circa the early 1800s. The blunderbuss is a firearm with a short, large caliber barrel flared at the muzzle and 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.
The Miquelet was a tough, reliable early flintlock that played a big role across Europe and the Ottoman Empire from the 17th century all the way into the early 20th. It was developed in Spain and had a distinctive design—combining a flint-against-steel ignition with a clever built-in pan cover. This innovation made the Miquelet a real game-changer in firearm technology. It was widely used in Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Balkans, North Africa, and the Ottoman territories. It helped pave the way for the modern flintlock we’re familiar with today. The Miquelet’s clever design and lasting influence make it a fascinating piece of history—a true step forward in the evolution of firearms.
