    To me it doesn't give the appearance of being a conventional, ( circa 1700's/1800's ), blunderbuss.  In the past. I have seen both tourist and celebration guns, (made in the 20th Century), with a similar appearance. All were different, as they were hand made in village workshops. 

    I tend to think, this is one better quality tourist guns. Because the firing mechanism, doesn't appear functional,( frizzen spring).
