<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 1243599, member: 54"]One easy way to tell if it was made in the early 18th C. Is to pass a strong magnet all over the cannon (barrel only remove it from carriage first) within about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the surface. Do that and report whether any attraction was felt, and if so where on the cannon, and I can analyze those results for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
