Small medieval bronze cannon

Hi Gillaume,
I suspect that the bàton à feu you refer is well under the weight range you are dedicated to.
Here you find some more info on this area, including the name of the Castle/Museum where the bàton à feu is exhibited, from where could possibly enquire about the details you wish to know:

... I wonder if Cornelistromp reminds the material of the tube and the dimensions of the whole setup. In my imagination the tube material was iron, as i was under the influence of mounting my two examples following its style:

Thank you, I'll check it out. Really, anything under 100 lbs would do.

My tubes weigh 1,250 Kgs and 2,020 Kgs respectively. I might be out of reality but, my assumption is/was that the one from Castelnaud can not be much heavier .

I looked at your excellent reconstruction quite closely when I was researching and thats what made me want to do one . The Castelnaud example seems to have a more fluid shape which makes me think it's cast. I will see about contacting them.
