It looks Persian or Indian. I don't remember seeing that one in the Tower but they have a lot of guns there.

Welcome to Joanne's Pawn.

As you walk in, security gives you a watchful eye.
You place your blunderbuss on my counter and I ask:
"So what do we have here?"
You say "A really old gold inlay blunderbuss"
I say "Do you want to sell or pawn"
You say "Sell"
I say "How much is it worth."
You say "I don't know"
I say "Let me get my firearms expert to appraise your firearm"

Cue beautiful women shopping for hair driers.
Cue handsome men looking at the Harley in the corner.

Firearm expert "What we have here is a rare blunderbuss from ...."
I say "Well whats it worth"
Firearms expert "Priceless"
You say "$500,000"
I say "I'll give you a hundred bucks, another fifty if it shoots"
You walk out shaking your head.

I learned that from Pawn Stars.
They had a show where a guy was selling a blunderbuss.
Reminded me of yours.

You have a beautiful firearm.
Very nice.

I'm going with this. They seemed to like speckling the stock with those little metal bits.


Also if that's original it's probably worth a good chunk of change. It looks like it's in really good shape.

Any proof-marks or stampings?

I would get that appraised, right now.

If it's part of a set, and the other owner is some rich limey, you can retire.

i looked for stamping.. or proof marks.. there is nothing!

In keeping with the tradition of "what I learned on pawn stars". . . looking at those modern slot screws on the top of the receiver, the lock and the buttstock, I'd say its an Indian or Pakistani copy - made for the tourist trade.

Definately have it checked by an expert (in person)

[Squashua]

Yeah it's been in my family for well over 100 years so not as modern as u think...

Call Bonham and Butterfields in San Francisco and ask to talk to James Ferrell

Definitely Eastern, most likely Indian. The lock and stock however are European made. Most likely a cut down and altered 2nd or 3rd pattern Long Land Brown Bess. The barrel is a replacement probably Indian made.

Very nice piece
