While blunderbuss type arms were made by some of the finest arms makers, principally in England, many were junk when made and have not improved any.
The worst were those made in North Africa in this century for the tourist trade. Some almost looked like guns; others were little more than a piece of wood, a piece of brass curtain rod, and a brass-painted kitchen funnel.
In any case, even with the best, $20k seems pretty high. I have seen some fairly nice ones go for under a tenth of that.
