Coehorn Mortar Cannon 3/4 Scale
Museum Quality BNA
Description: More than museum quality inside and out. More than premium raw materials value. More than the rare and highly skilled artisan labor. This fine item is absolute objet d'art. This mortar is muzzle stamped "A M" for the maker, Alf Missen who was a shop assistant and Biker friend of the late "Burt" Munro of Indian Motorcycle fame. Interesting note; Alf used to race against Burt Munroe on Oreti Beach in New Zealand and was actually one of the younger punk bikers as depicted in the movie "The World's Fastest Indian". Burt Munroe's efforts, and success, are the basis of the motion picture The World's Fastest Indian (2005), starring Anthony Hopkins, and an earlier 1971 short documentary film Burt Munro: Offerings to the God of Speed, both directed by Roger Donaldson. The mortar is made of solid bronze shaft material and the carriage/bed is American Walnut. Every piece of accessory hardware for the mortar is custom made out of pure rolled solid Naval Brass/Tobin Bronze round and square stock. Bore; 3.5, (Approx. 3/4 scale). Weight; 80 Lbs. Will fit inside of a 16" X 16" X 24" box. A nice wooden shipping/storing crate is included. Beaufort Naval Armorers cannons and mortars are highly collectible due to their superb quality and historical accuracy. This Coehorn Mortar cannon is a real beauty and you will be pleased. You will need to pay for the shipping. All checks, including "Bank Checks" take two weeks to process. Multiple United States Postal Money Order's are the best and yield a fastest deliveries.
