A flintlock blunderbuss, also known as a "dragon" pistol, dating from the 18th century. Its impressive muzzle and the flame it produced earned it the nickname "dragon." This type of pistol was primarily used by the navy, including pirates. While not very accurate, it allowed for hitting a target without much aiming, and could even hit multiple targets, sometimes in unstable conditions. It was loaded with either a single ball, several balls, or shot, such as pieces of iron and nails. It is in usable condition, but its functionality is not guaranteed. It has its ramrod (which is rare). This is a Category D firearm, reserved for those over 18 years of age. Shipping is possible; please contact us.
