Item Location: Manila, Philippines

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ITEM IS AN ANTIQUE AND SHOULD NOT BE FIRED DUE TO ITS OLD AGE!!

This rare and large 18th Century (over 250-years-old) Bronze Antique European Cannon is intricately carved and has an unidentified CROWN shape on the top of its first reinforcing area. A cannon of this size and quality is uncommon and quite difficult to find for sale in this day and age. There is only slight damage at the touch-hole area but this was probably due to a sea battle - it adds character to this item! Otherwise this item is in excellent condition.

The Ships Cannon Carriage is based on 1750's Cannon Carriage Design - all the way down to the brass hardware. It is made of the hardest wood - Kamagong - which is exactly the same hardness and strength as Mahogany wood.

It would be a GREAT DISPLAY, DECORATION and CONVERSATION piece for any; home, office, store, museum, etc!

During its hayday this gun fired a 2 pound Iron Cannon Ball (or slighty lighter Stone Cannon Ball)!

Below see the photos & details of this cannon.

PRICED LOW FOR FAST SALE!!!! A cannon of this caliber with an expertly hand-made sea carriage is not easy to locate these days!
