A Remarkable Long Gun Butt Ottoman Migulet Blunderbuss Pistol/Carbine Circa 1780.

19 and 1/2 inch round blunderbuss barrel. 1 and 1/4 inch muzzle.

The barrel of excellent quality chiseled at both breech and muzzle and further enhanced with a central rib. The unusually fine migulet lock profusely gold Damascened with scrolls and flowers. Magnificent Circassian walnut fullstock with pronounced “tiger” striping. The stock finely inlaid with niello brass roundels, lovely white bone inlays, herringbone inlays of bone and exotic wood. The butt capped with a morse cap.

This is such a fine example that even the lock screw heads are inlaid with gold. Bore is good and action is powerful as is typical with Ottoman migulet locks. 27 and 1/4 inches overall.

This is a really luxuriously decorated long pistol of exemplary quality. Condition of barrel is heavy, uncleaned patina. The lock retains most of its bright gold Damascene decoration. The stock is excellent with one crack on the left side toward the muzzle. The profuse inlay is excellent with no losses.
