Flintlock Blunderbuss Pistol, 18th Century
Blunderbuss or "dragon" pistol, flintlock mechanism, 18th century. Its impressive muzzle and the flame emanating from it earned it the nickname "dragon". This type of pistol was mainly used in the navy, by pirates among others. Not very accurate, but able to hit its target without too much aiming, or even several targets, in sometimes unstable conditions, it was loaded either with a forced bullet, or with several bullets or shot, pieces of iron and nails. In used condition, but not guaranteed to work. It has its own ramrod (which is rare).
