English Blunderbuss Musket with Brass Barr

English Blunderbuss Musket with Brass Barrel

The blunderbuss musket is a muzzle-loading firearm with a short, flared and trumpet-like brass barrel. It is an early form of shotgun or muzzleloader. Most of these guns are medium-sized, being smaller than most shoulder-fired arms, but also larger than a pistol. Although the blunderbuss muskets are fitted with a butt, the dimensions suggest that most were actually not intended to be fired from the shoulder and were instead fired from the hip. The blunderbuss, and especially the shorter dragon, was typically issued to troops such as cavalry, or seamen and pirates, who needed a lightweight, easily handled firearm.

Our muzzle-loader replicas are intended for decoration and re-enactment. The muzzle has not been drilled, so the weapon is not functional.

A beautiful item for every collection and an indispensable accessory for re-enactors.
