Little Blunderbuss

[Dave Wallis]

Had this Blunderbuss for a while now and have always wondered why the trigger guard was a different colour to the rest of the brass on the gun?

Cast from a different alloy. It looks like red brass (more copper, less zinc).

I am curious to see the whole gun!
Photos please!

Looks like a replacement based on the engraving and color of the alloy. The engraving on the gun is standard quick and workmanlike but the guard engraving is well below that level.
