Hello, this item is a matched pair consisting of an antique flintlock blunderbuss and an antique flintlock pistol, both of European origin and datable to the late 18th to early 19th century. The blunderbuss features a characteristic flared muzzle, wooden stock, and brass-mounted flintlock mechanism, while the pistol follows the same construction logic on a smaller scale, suggesting they were produced either by the same maker or within the same regional tradition. The lock plates are clearly stamped “W. BRAZIER” and “W. & S. BRAZIER,” names associated with the well-documented London gunmaking family active from the mid-18th century onward. These stamps are known to appear on quality locks supplied to various makers, and their presence firmly places the pieces within the British flintlock production sphere rather than continental or later reproduction work.

The condition is consistent with genuine period firearms, showing oxidation, patina to the brass, surface wear, and handling marks to the wood, all of which support age and authenticity. The blunderbuss barrel and pistol barrel appear structurally intact, though functional firing condition cannot be assumed without professional testing. Antique flintlock arms by or bearing Brazier locks are collectible and valued primarily for historical and decorative appeal rather than mechanical precision. Based on current market comparisons for comparable British flintlock blunderbusses and pistols with named locks, the blunderbuss alone carries an estimated fair market value of USD 1,200 to USD 2,000, while the flintlock pistol is reasonably valued at USD 700 to USD 1,200. As a pair, the combined fair market value is best placed in the range of USD 1,900 to USD 3,000.
