<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Desertau, post: 9804287, member: 86775&quot;]Thank you so much for the information, the Civil War Cannon is incredible and off in another league I’m not surprised at the valuation. The Capstan I expected to see impressive numbers but it is significantly more by at least 2 to 3 times my guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>The story on mine is good, it’s such an odd mention in the book it could even be the inspiration for the cover, as the sub recovered prisoners and the compass from the blazing tankers lifeboat. I know when I read the passage it immerses me in the scene of the battle, the excitement of the hunt executing&nbsp; their plan and the aftermath the heat and glare of the flames and strong smell of burning diesel oil.</p><p><br /></p><p>why I’ve been unwilling to test it at auction, it is I feel something special. Now as special as the Capstan I have no idea they are both apples to apples and yet apples to oranges at the same time to me. But it does reinforce my intuition a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>thank you again, food for thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
