!!!!!SOLD!!!!! Stanley Blashak 1/3 Scale Brass Barreled Flintlock Blunderbuss With Case !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale brass barreled blunderbuss by master miniature maker Stanley Blashak of Pennsylvania.  10 7/16″ long overall with a 5 1/8″ barrel.  The muzzle diameter is .350, although the actual bore diameter is much smaller.  Brass furniture.  Steel lock assembly & trigger finished in the white.  The hammer with both half & full cock.  There is some modest engraving on the barrel tang, lockplate, sideplate, hammer, escutcheon, buttplate, & triggerguard.  The top flat engraved “London” in script, the lockplate engraved “Harrison” in script.  There are two proof marks on the left top flat of the barrel, one is a crown over what looks to be a combined “GP”, the other a crown over “V”.   All the engraving reportedly done by master engraver Roger Sampson, & sure looks like his work to me.  Roger most likely engraved this piece to match a full size blunderbuss in the collection of the previous owner.  One piece straight grained walnut stock with an oil finish.  There is a brass oval escutcheon inlaid into the top of the wrist of the stock just behind the barrel tang that is engraved “WB”.  Complete with the original Blashak hinged top walnut casing with flip latch.  The casing interior French fit and lined in a dark red velour.  The case bottom lined in a brown felt.  Mint new condition.  From the personal miniature collection of Cranford Dalby.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
