SWIVEL GUN / WALL CANNON
Hi
Just thought I would post pics of my cannon ... have had it over 30 years , picked it up in a Birmingham auction house but never have known really what it is. I dont even know if it is European or Asian .. it is iron , and very heavy ... it is 125 cm long and has a bore diameter of 3.5 cm. |
