US SALES ONLY Payment Types Accepted: MONEY ORDERS-CHECKS Description: sale pending dave s hold till 2/10/22 THIS VINTAGE MUZZLE LOADING CANNON IS FOR DISPLAY OR NOISE MAKING BLANK FIRING ONLY.  IT'S 9 3/8" FROM MUZZLE TO THE END OF THE BREECH PLUG. THE MOUNT IS 7" X 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" HIGH AND THE MUZZLE STANDS 7 1/2" HIGH FULLY ELEVATED.  IT LOOKS LIKE A COPY OF A DAHLGREN  OR PARROT STYLE CIVIL WAR CANNON. IT HAS AN IRON FRAME/BASE WITH CROSS BOLT SUPPORTS NOW BUT IT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR A HOME MADE SHIP STYLE OR FIELD STYLE BASE AS IT HAS CAST TRUNNIONS. A COAT OF HIGH TEMP FLAT BLACK PAINT WOULD SPRUCE IT UP. IT LOADS WITH A CAPFULL OF 4F BLACK POWDER AND FIRES WITH 3/16 FUSE THROUGH THE FLASH HOLE. IT GOES OFF A RESOUNDING BOOM. NOT SUITABLE FOR INDOOR USE AND THE FUSE SHOULD BE LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BE WELL AWAY FROM THE CANNON WHEN IT FIRES DUE TO THE NOISE. IT HAS A REMOVABLE BREECH PLUG TO FACILITATE CLEANING. IT HAS A MASSIVE BORE DIAMETER OF ABOUT .887 INCHES  AT THE MUZZLE, BUT I JUST TOOK SOME NEW PICTURES FROM THE MUZZLE AND SAW THAT THERE IS A STEP IN THE INNER BORE THAT PRECLUDES FIRING ANY PROJECTILES AS THE BREECH IS BIGGER THAN THE BORE. THE FRAME IS IRON AND HELD TOGETHER WITH BOLTS AND THE TRUNNIONS ARE ONLY 7/16" AND THAT WOULD  NOT STAND UP TO FIRING ANYTHING OTHER THAN BLANK LOADS IN IT. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO WAD IT TO GET A BOOM. I JUST DUMPED THE CAPFULL OF 4F BLACK POWDER INTO THE MUZZLE, SHOOK IT DOWN TO THE BREECH AND PUT IN A FUSE, IT'S LOUD ENOUGH THAT I ONLY TRIED IT ONCE  AS IT WAS NOT THE 4TH OF JULY. ONCE AGAIN, FIRING ANY PROJECTILE OUT OF THIS PIECE WOULD  RESULT IN IT'S DESTRUCTION! YOU CAN MAKE YOUR 4TH OF JULY AS NOISY AS YOU WANT WITH A POUND OF 4F BLACK POWDER AND SOME 3/16" CANNON FUSE.
