Hi Brian,

Thanks for showing these pictures from the sale, the weapons are, like you note, of a quality seldom seen. Good to see that there are still some around in private collections, although they are seldom seen, and Robin Wigginton’s collection would have been close to unknown, had he not opened a museum.

I am not collecting canons, but these two are fantastic. Had it not been be course my wife does not approve of firing canons indoor, I could have been tempted. They could have been used to fire a salute when a dear friend visited.
