Re: Antique blunderbuss with no proof markings?

Now that one is just plain weird.
Also, on the first one, the wearing at the wedding band is also strange, but on military guns, caused by rubbing with the steel rod to keep the barrels shiny. Very strange and maybe filing & polishing to remove rust?
As someone who is unfamiliar with the specific parts of these guns, where is the wedding band?
It's possible these two were from the same manufacturer but the markings on the first one have since rubbed off. I think they looked almost identical save for the difference in length of stock.
