<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 415484, member: 54&quot;]Good question.&nbsp; But in this case I’d think not, biggest problem being that it was a different caliber from anything Spain used.&nbsp; That would have been prohibitive for them.&nbsp; They had two royal cannon foundries, Barcelona and Seville, that were casting hundreds of bronze cannons a year at that time, and they still had access to more “cheap” copper and tin, from their colonies, than they could use.&nbsp; The book “Sevilla-Y La Real Fundicion De Canones (where’s that n-ya squiggle again?)” by Enrique de la Vega, makes the prodigious Spanish cannon production in that period pretty clear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
