- Lot Description
1.58" flared canon muzzle, 14.4" octagonal-to-round brass barrel with baluster turned rings at the transition. Flat iron water proof lock with roller frizzen and flat reinforced cock. Lock marked RIGBY. Brass barrel marked DUBLIN on the top flat and with the Irish registration number WI 967. Wedge secured barrel with brass furniture in walnut stock. Brass tipped iron ramrod. Circa 1st quarter of the 19th century. The firm of John Rigby & Company was established in Dublin in 1775 and remained a family gun making business in that city through several generations into the 1890s, at which time it relocated to London and remains one of the premier sporting arms manufactures in the world today.
Good to very good. Brass with a smooth, mellow bronze patina. Iron lock with a smoky blue gray patina and some pitting. Mechanically functional, good bore. Stock about good, with moderate wear, dings and mars, some tiny cracks around the wedges with associated wood loss. A nice example of a scarce Irish made blunderbuss from the early 1800s by a very famous maker.Condition
