Nice example of an officer (in undress uniform) from a crack cavalry regiment (silver chains on full dress leather crossbelt, with pickers and chains, only worn by QOCG). Karachi (where the photographer operated) is in Sind province on the coast by the border with Baluchistan. (The attribution to QOCG is tentative.)

The day the blunderbuss arrives I could not stop looking and feeling the gun for at least one hour. My wife told me that I was sick........ I am very happy, it is a piece of craftsmanship! Well made! I have 5 blunderbusses but all iron barrel, also from England but this one is gorgeous with the Brass Barrel.

Please keep me informed when you have any other type of blunderbuss. Thanks my friend!
