Yesterday i bought this nice artifact from the sea of cortez. It is a 16th century powder chamber for a breechloading cannon

And yes i kknow it looks like a pile of rust, but this actually pretty nice :P.

The chamber measures 8 inch (20 cm), looks like a 2,5inch caliber, but i have to verify this when it arrives at my home.

A very significant piece for collectors of this area, Marcus.
You should have started a new thread with it

.
And by the way, if you feel unsatisfied when it arrives, let me know and we go on business
