Antique French CHARLEVILLE FLINTLOCK BLUNDERBUSS Napoleonic Wars Navy Pirate Flintlock Shotgun Here we present an antique Charleville French Flintlock Blunderbuss, made circa the late 1700s to the early 1800s in Charleville, France. The blunderbuss is a firearm with a short, large caliber barrel. They are flared at the muzzle, frequently throughout the entire bore, and used with shot and other projectiles.
