- Lot Description
1.91" flared muzzle, 25" pinned round iron barrel with baluster turned rings at breech. Bright finish, walnut stock, brass furniture. 4.75" flat, bevelled, stepped iron lock with rounded, fenced, waterproof pan and roller frizzen. Flat, bevelled swan neck cock. Lock marked W. CALDERWOOD. No proofs on exterior of barrel. Wooden ramrod. William Calderwood is listed in Sellers as a Pittsburgh gunsmith working ca 1819-1846. The consignor's notes list this as an American blunderbuss, and the Calderwood lock and lack of barrel proofs support that claim. It may be an assembled arm, as the stock does not appear to have the age of the metal parts and the quality of the fit of the furniture is somewhat suspect.
Good. Barrel cleaned to bright and showing some scuffs. Lock a mottled oxidized patina. Lock remains functional. Brass furniture with mellow ochre patina. Stock good, with repaired crack at front of lock mortise and on flat, opposite lock.Condition
