Perfect. Thanks guys!
The length in inch is nearly 25". Do you have an idea on how to date it? I think 18th or 17th century. But thatīs quite vague.
The owner got it from Antwerp many years ago, together with a large cannon. Sadly he stored it outdoor, sticked inside the barrel of the large one. This is why the back is "newly" rusted and crusted.
Due to this I think I need to preserve it somehow (if it was the original condition as the rest of the cannon I think there wonīt be much need). What do you think about removing the loose rust with a steel brush and than conserve the condition with Owatrol Oil?
Best
Andreas
