Hiya Nando!
You are a Cannon maniac!

Another nice addition to the collection buddy! I don't know how you manage it?

I think its about time you formed Fernando's 1st Militia Platoon.

Make way for the artillery

As rough as i could manage.
A detail i repute worthy of note

: the bands are fixed with real old salvaged handmade nails.

Now that's one talented restorer!

I like it, Fernando, I like it a lot!

While I have come to accept and preserve fragments the way they are I have to admit that your solution adds a lot to a conception of how the complete piece would have looked like originally.

Btw, would you consider reconstructing a breech loading cannon if you had an original breech?
