<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 1242741, member: 54"]Nice decorative small cannon. I see the date “1738” but I think that’s an indication of the era the cannon is intended to represent rather than when it was made. In my experience, cannons with details, finish, etc. like this one were most likely made in 20th C. Pieces that size actually made in 18th C. were “perfectly” detailed miniatures of the big, real ones. Yours has kind of generalized details that wouldn’t appear on the real thing. But yours is very good looking within the category I described.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
