Hi
Thanks all for the information
I have retrieved the barrel from the attic and taken some shots
While I was at it I got a brownbess and took some shots of the proof marks on that for the sake of completion of the tread to see what military markings look like, it is not as rusty as it looks in the photos
All are included in the attached

blunderbuss barrel proof marks followed by an overall shot of the barrel sans gun,
With the Brown Bess in the middle

If anyone has a lock they would like to part with I would love the chance to re build the blunderbuss
All the best
Ken

Hi, Ken

Punches test in bronze barrel belong to Birmingham,. before 1813

The iron barrel does not belong to a military weapon, has two punch of "private punch" of the Tower and the average of the two private punch barrel maker who can not quite make out who is responsible. Military weapons have the punch of tests Tower (two crossed scepters and crowned) and the actual figure of the reigning monarch, crowned, and under the "broad arrow".

The third barrel is not the same as the second photograph, and this ochavado and then rounded, not belonging to a Brown Bess.

Affectionately. Fernando K

Hi Fernando
Interesting that the Brown Bess is not military issue, I will probably get some more shots of it as soon as I can, busy here for next few days, our little boys birthday is coming up.
Sorry my pictures were a bit confusing in that the way I posted them . on the forum they scrambled a bit from the order I posted them.
The octagonal barrel belongs to a separate blunderbuss but all I have is the barrel.
Thanks
For all the help
Ken
