That is a nice one Willem!
You've robbed it out of the museum?

Please share some images of the upperside of the barrel. I would love to see how it's decorated!

Thank you Cerjak and Maurice
I was very happy too with this find.
The barrel was rusty when I bought it, and after a bit of cleaning the inlay became visible. Not to mention the twisted barrel structure.

here are 2 pictures of the inlay. not very unusual inlay. But in a good condition considering the age.
I will try to make some more pictures soon.

Best regards,
Willem

Hi everybody
I hope somebody could be able to tell me more about this quiet big blunderbuss. I don’t know in which language the marks in the stock are. The total size is around 125 cm for around 6 KG.
I Guess it was a English flintlock blunderbuss who was turn into percussion.
IT will be fantastic is someone will be able to translate those marks.
Best regards
