An original anti-poaching flintlock Blunderbuss!

Zowie ...

A remote-operated blunderbuss, on a swivel spike, that is set into the ground to deter poachers. Tripwires are attached to the 3-rings in the mount, that will swing the muzzle in the direction of the pull and activate the trigger to fire it at the offending person(s)!

Guess they had no lawyers back then ... LOL!

I’ve read that these were used to deter grave robbers…

More than likely that's what it is.

It's a shame it's illegal to use stuff like this to protect your home. Criminals can ravage your family and everything you have but harm a criminal and watch out. Semper Fi.
