blunderbuss images

Squire Robin, Thanks for the pictures! Old conglomeration guns are always interesting and probably the result of need, which gives them a certain validity. I really like the robustness of the barrel, and anyone having that shoved in thier face after dark would probably state his business pronto. Lots of good BB's shown in this thread, but your's is probably closer to what I'll wind up building, due to scrounging spare parts! Yes, I agree, she is beautiful! Cheers, George B. :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete D., That gun looks really good. Right between a 12 ga and a 16 ga, sweet! and Robert Ruark had it right about outdoor activities! Anyone who has not hunted or hung off rope hasn't lived. Treestalker.

Hi Robin. I like it!! That one looks like it would be a good shooter. Have you fired it yet? Really like the barrel on that one. Congrats. Neat looking blunderbuss. Rick. :hatsoff:

Tree: Thanks for starting this Thread. Sure been fun seeing pics of everyone's blunderbuss. :thumbsup:
So let's add one more :haha:
Ottoman Blunderbuss Knee Pistol in working/firing condition. Barrel and lock are European made for the export market, and decorated and assembled for local tastes. Rick. :hatsoff:

Ricky it's been my pleasure, believe me. I'm kind of stunned at the variety and styles of blunderbusses in use and existence! :shocked2: I hope soon to join the rarified atmosphere of blunderbusdom and do my part to screw up the ozone and achieve local barrel warming! :haha: Thanks to everyone, the mind reels. And that middle east model you illustrated appeals to my Moorish ancestry, (Spanish, Egyptian, Turkish, Palistinian). Treestalker.
