c1800 mfr. Antique French CHARLEVILLE FLINTLOCK BLUNDERBUSS Napoleonic Wars
Navy Pirate Flintlock Shotgun
Here we present an antique Charleville French Flintlock Blunderbuss, made circa the late 1700s to the early 1800s in Charleville, France. The blunderbuss is a firearm with a short, large caliber barrel. They are flared at the muzzle, frequently throughout the entire bore, and used with shot and other projectiles. The blunderbuss is commonly considered to be an early predecessor of the modern day shotgun, with similar military and defensive use. It was effective only at short range, lacking accuracy at long range. It was used in many capacities, not the least of which were for naval boarding or defending by pirates and navies alike!
The overall condition is very good. Original finish. The action is excellent and strong. The bore is smooth and dim. The stock shows use and is solid throughout.
