<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 9472188, member: 54"]Looks like someone married old cart wheels and Newell posts to make some decorative objects. I’ve seen real Moghul cannons and they were incredible bronze castings, typically with lion or tiger? head-shaped muzzle, trunnions, and cascabel. I was buying cannons from an older man in Santa Monica, but ran out of money and didn’t buy his 6 ft. Long bronze Moghul cannon decorated as described. He wanted $8k. An English guy bought it before I could return with the $. He sold it 30 years later for about $300k.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
