Italian Blunderbuss w/folding stock & oval barrel

PhDBrewer · 1st May 2023, 05:51 PM

Hello All, I am researching this Italian Blunderbuss. Information received from the seller was quite limited. Apparently made in the first quarter of the 18th century, ~1720-1730. The workmanship is well done. There is some restoration work that has been preformed. I am trying to decipher the barrel mark. The only one that I can find is on the bottom of the breech.
Thank you!

William

edit:
I have tried to add the images. I have written the mods about it. Apparently I do not have permission yet. Image size is 1280 x 1231px, size 213.5 kb. Well within the limit.
I click on "manage attachments", select the image and click upload and get the following message:

images are on my server and they are larger than allowed. once I figure out how to get them here I will add to the post. Hopefully this will not get me kicked off!

The upload thingy can be a little confusing at first. Keep the "manage attachments" upload window open after the upload button, until you see the attachments appear in the window where you type your reply.
