Cannon

I have this metal cannon on wood, I think Mexico or Spain tourist piece I think. anybody know what the cannon says and looks like a crown above the wording.

 

Cannons say, "Boom!"

 

anno

 

You know what?

 

I gave the OP an answer for the word,simple Google search for the meaning.

 

nice cannon ...looks like it could fire blanks too......
'Spring' should know this one by heart !

 

And maybe ANNO 1154? Given the damage to the surface that might be possible.....

 

HA!!!!

 

"tourist piece I think."


Me too, decorative only, no shooting of that kind.

 

Thanks everybody for all the replies and remarks. It shoots, I smelled the inside and smells like old gun powder.

 

Maybe I should clarify my comment. That item was not intended by the maker to shoot anything. Any pipe closed at one end can burn explosives and make noise, at the risk of throwing sharp pieces of metal into you when they fail, the timing of which is unpredictable. These accidents happen hundreds of times each year and some are fatal. Russian Roulette fatalities average 1 per six tries, logically enough. Fatalities involving people firing pipes and other defective cannon-like objects are much less in terms of mathematical probabilities but there's no way to be sure you aren't next on the Grim Reaper's list.

 

I know, it was a tourist piece but who is the maker.

 

Anno sounds good to me..

 

what

 

I've seen many similar souvenir cannons and there's almost never a maker's name on them.

 

So what do you think about this one ?
