My important small alcove cannon retaining its original oak stock, ca. 1450.
Its overall length is only 40 cm - just lovely!
The iron ring at the rear was for a chain; so this alcove cannon was originally attached to a wall, as I explained in my previous post.
Now that these two detached barrels sold so well at Herman Historica's, it is with pride that I look at my fine and completely preserved piece!
