From the late 1600s, the Blunderbuss was the weapon of choice for close quarters combat and personal defense, as its short barrel and wide mouth made loading while on horseback, riding in a carriage, or aboard a pitching ship’s deck easier to manage. The term blunderbuss is of Dutch origin, from the Dutch word donderbus, which is a combination of donder, meaning "thunder," and bus, meaning "Pipe."
This brass barrel flintlock blunderbuss has a 14 ½ inch brass barrel and a 12 ¾ flip iron bayonet. Brass trigger guard, thimbles, and butt plate. Thumb escutcheon. Lock marked (BENNETT) and barrel marked (ROYAL EXCHANGE LONDON) and British proofed.
