7 Attachment(s)
Hi
Just thought I would post pics of my cannon ... have had it over 30 years , picked it up in a Birmingham auction house but never have known really what it is. I dont even know if it is European or Asian .. it is iron , and very heavy ... it is 125 cm long and has a bore diameter of 3.5 cm.

Michael .. do you have any pictures of what would have been attached to the end .... where the plate and long rivets are .. I assume some type of 'paddle' type handle ?
