Thank you so much, Fernando, you're just great:

Yes, this is the one I was talking about!

And here is the original Österreichisches Kürassier-Tromblon M 1759, the very model that the barrel was taken from.
Barrel length 65.6 cm, bore at muzzle 44 mm, at tang 26 mm.

I hope that Tobias Capwell has fun taking the measurements of the barrel of the Wallace 'wheellock blunderbuss' ...

Scanned from Peter Krenn, Die Handfeuerwaffen des österreichischen Soldaten, Graz, 1985

I deaccessioned Baxter's Blunderbusses a few years ago from my library just because there was not one single honest and early piece in it.

Best,
Michael
