That is some amazing work!

I like how they do the entire barrel from one piece of steel.  I guess you don’t have to worry about welding problems when you make everything from one piece.  It is definitely a labor of love.

I would say the price is appropriate, almost on the low size for the amount work in each one.

I hate to be A pessimist but for A 1" bore cannon 15,000$ is A lot of money, not everyone on this board can afford that kind of money!! I bet it only cost 1000$ in Matierial to build!!

Reddog, you're a little off topic here, but we will give you an answer anyway.

1.   We do not make our museum guns for guys like Mike and I, machinists and woodworkers.

2.   We do make them for Serious Collectors, Investors, and Museums.

3.    NEVER look a gift horse in the mouth.

Bye the way, you are very astute with your estimation on material costs.  It comes in right at $1,100. 

Best regards,

Tracy
