This blunderbuss overall size is 78 CM so too big for a knee pistol.
The barrel has a Liege proof mark.

Hi Cerjak

OK, it appears to be made to fire from the shoulder. Shoulder length blunderbuss of Eastern origin seem to be much more rare. You seldom see one. I've only seen one come up for sale in many years. so again, a great find for your collection. Very neat blunderbuss.

Sorry I wrote a Tunisian lock, better to say an English lock or a copy engraved in Tunis. But the whole thing is probably from Eastern part of Algeria, Kabyle.
