Bond 45 Cornhill London’ along the top-flat, stamped with Tower roofs and Bonds own barrel smith mark, beautifully foliate engraved barrel tang, stepped bevelled lock decorated with a spray of foliage and the cock also decorated with foliage, full stocked in walnut cut with a band of deep chequering at the wrist, engraved brass mounts comprising foliate engraved butt guard and trigger guard decorated with a shield surrounded by foliage on the bow and stylised pineapple finial, with two ramrod pipes, original horn tipped ramrod with worm.
When I bought this blunderbuss it had been hanging on a wall for years. It is completely untouched. There is a small area of discolouration to the butt on the left side but this could be polished out.
