Blunderbuss.
I have an 1850s? era percussion Blunderbuss. I’m not sure of its origin because I can’t find any proof marks anywhere. I did remove the barrel and found a letter “J” with a * above it. This is the only mark I could find. There is some etching on all the screws and trigger plate, butt plate and hammer. All the screws are timed, (all aligned in the same direction) The barrel is elliptical shaped and made of steel the barrel is in good condition, however there is some small pitting. The stock is in good condition, no cracks, but there is some nicks/small dents. Overall the condition is excellent. I tried to research this gun, via the Internet, and found one real similar, almost exact. That one was made in Belgium.
Any help would be great!
