..Hmm, neat little piece. A sad story as cannons go. A good friend of mine built a nice one to use at 1812 reenactments. He only took it to a couple rendezvous and local events. Hadn't gotten the barrel proofed and marked, yet. Then cancer took him. It now sets in an outbuilding (a nice one not out in the open) under a cover gathering dust. She loves the gun because it was something they worked on together. She also would like to see the gun go to someone that might use it.
