Here two blunderbusses, from the Bronbeek museum collection and now on display because of the 150 years jubilee.
Both taken right out of the Aceh war. |

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! Maurice Last edited by Maurice; 19th January 2014 at 08:21 PM. |

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 |
