WONDERFUL 18TH CENTURY BRONZE CANNON.

WONDERFUL 18TH CENTURY BRONZE CANNON. This banded bronze tube weighs 60lbs and is 27″ long and has a 1.725″ bore (about 44mm). Cannon appears to be a European field cannon and is a one pounder. There are no discernible markings on this old tube. There are possibly some light markings near touch hole on last band flat before cascabel but there is wear from “old firing” and old cleaning in this area. Tube has a beautiful bronze patina and would display nicely in a gun room or even outside on its contemporary wooden Naval carriage on four wooden wheels. Consignor states purchased at Holland and Holland, London. CONDITION: Cannon tube is sound and solid very good to fine overall with a red/green bronze patina with remnants of old polishing compound found in grooves and recessed areas around bands and trunnions. Vent is clear and measures just over 5mm in diameter apparently about same size as a Civil War era primer. Surface of tube has typical small dings, dents, and scratches. Associated carriage is sound and solid. 4-49191 JS227 (3,000-5,000)
