- Lot Description
1.19" flared muzzles, 12" round pinned brass barrels, full length walnut stocks. Rounded brass locks marked E NEWTON with delicate boarder line engraving. Round, fenced brass pan, rounded swan neck cock boarder line engraved en suite, as is the frizzen. Barrels marked with commercial London proofs and a Crown/F maker's mark. Top of barrels marked GRANTHAM. Brass wrist escutcheons with delicately engraved decorations, and rounded S-shaped sideplate with tiny floral engraving at center. Walnut stock with neatly executed raised carved aprons around iron barrel tangs. Swelled wooden rammers with flat brass tips. Circa 1730.
Fine overall. Both blunderbusses have a lovely mellow golden patina to the brass. Good bores and fully functional locks in original flint configuration. All markings remain crisp and sharp. Stocks show only minor bumps, dings and handling marks. One stock shows a flaw in the obverse butt along the grain line. Really a lovely pair of diminutive brass barreled blunderbusses from the first part of the 1700s.Condition
