Barrel for comment
This sad relic turned up the other day.From an early cannon barrelled turn off flintlock. Clear London proof marks. Decoration on English firearms is unusual and in this case consists of a sort of false damascening of punched and chiseled work with mercury gilding which must have once looked wonderful against a blued steel background. Suggesting a date of around 1670 ?
