Blunderbuss Question ?

[Smokey in Oz]

Gents,
My father today came across an old fella who has a pair of Blunderbuss' for sale. He cant sell em on e-bay so I assume they're BP shooters. I know nothing about them apart from they're 'old replicas' stamped '1790 Vitoria'. A search of the web turned up zip apart from Vitoria is in Spain.
We're going to view them in the next couple of days. His asking price is $150US for the pair. I thought they'd be great wall hangers in my bar, after the obligatory test firing of course.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Smokey. :winking:

Well just try to find barrels for $150 :haha:

Sometimes I look at things like this for what you would have to spend in parts alone. :v

$150 for the pair is a great price! I just bought a brass barrelled blunderbuss and they are great fun.

Well I got 'em.........

but they never cost me nearly as much.

Could also be considered "cast anchors" to hold your boat in place while you scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef... :grin:

There's not enough weight in them to even be used as anchors...... :shake:
Thanks for the help anyway guys.
