Ottoman naval blunderbuss, Ottoman Balkans, late 18th century; a high-end piece in original condition. The stock is adorned with coral, mother-of-pearl, and gilt brass wire; the weapon has neither been restored nor polished—it remains in its original state. (Provenance: private collection). A very rare weapon highly prized by collectors for its luxurious finish; the lock is functional (cocking mechanism: to fire, one must pull the trigger while slightly pulling the hammer back).
Please see the final photo (no. 15) in the listing: there is a slight loss of wood on both the right and left sides of the stock.
Total length: 80 cm. Barrel length: 48 cm.
This is a very rare collector's item, intended for connoisseurs and serious collectors.
If you were to find a similar blunderbuss, it would cost you twice as much, if not more.
The weapon will be shipped with tracking and delivery confirmation, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a pro forma invoice stating the sale price and the type of weapon sold.
(No shipping to Romania or Bulgaria)
