One of a Kind. This is a Classic example of an early 19th Century Ottoman Blunderbuss! Dating to around 1800\/1820, the \"Hand\" blunderbuss mimics the shape of a full sized blunderbuss of the period but is scaled down for use with one hand. It is full stocked with a \"pistol grip\" style wrist and butt stock with a butt plate. The stock is also covered in \"Swirl\" brass inlays, which give it a fantastic look!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blunderbuss barrel is 9 3\/4\" long terminating in a 2 1\/4\" wide mouth to the front. The rear of the barrel has some engraved designs, while the front \"flare\" is covered in inlaid silver designs. The weapon is 19 1\/2\" in overall length, and truly a work of art!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, the lock side plate on the left is also fitted with what looks to be a saddle ring bar, but could also be for attachment to some type of sling or belt hook. The fittings are all of iron, and somewhat crudely made, so this may not be the first stock that the barrel was fitted to. Overall condition is very nice, with a lovely patina of age. We checked the lock, and it does function, but will fire at both full and half cock, so the tumbler is definitely worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a real peach of its type. Often associated with the Barbary Pirates, it makes an awesome display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears of Manufacture: circa 1810\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Length: 9 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eBore Diameter: Blunderbuss Swamped Barrel - 2 1\/4\" at muzzle\u003cbr\u003eAmmunition Type: Lead Shot \u0026amp; Powder\u003cbr\u003eOverall Length: 19 1\/2 Inches\u003cbr\u003eAction: Miquelet Lock\u003cbr\u003eFeed System: Muzzle-Loaded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: International orders of antique firearms MUST be shipped using UPS WW Services (courier).
