Watch List notes:

Dutch Admiralty flintlock blunderbuss, ca. 1720, very rare and important. 15 lb, 33-1/2" long. This is basically a handheld cannon, with massive 1-1/4"-bore reinforced brass barrel supported by extra-thick walnut stock (as thick as 2-1/2" at the butt), plain brass furniture and unengraved lock but stamped on barrel at breech with prominent Dutch admiralty logo consisting of the letters OADM (Admiralty on the Maas River), ivory sight at muzzle end, period replacement wooden ramrod and brass muzzle-band, otherwise untouched and original and highly desirable, first of its kind we have ever heard of. (Packing and shipping to be invoiced separately.)

Estimate: $5000 - 7500
