Cannonmn,

Always nice to see your collection getting some air,

That is an organization I should have joined 20 years ago I'll have to get a application from you.

What is the breech loader at the end of the table?

I see you already have the new acquisition on display. Would you describe the gun to your immediate left?

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I really hadn't intended this post as a recruiting drive, but since you mentioned it, check out the general situation here, then if you like it, click button at bottom for application form.  Put my name, John Morris, in "sponsor's name" block.  I've really enjoyed my membership for past 35 yrs or so, it is a great group to be in if you have a deep interest in military history.

The piece on my left is this one, you've probably seen it before but its hard to tell what it is from that angle:

The breechloader on left end of table, I don't know what it is.  Smoothbore 1.5 inch, ca. 1890, with a novel "rocking" recoil system I've never seen in anything made before or since.

Thanks, Cannonmn. Have you ever considered putting "The Mother of All Model Cannon Slide Shows" together? No full sized guns, just those artilley models that you in your own judgement, consider to be especially interesting.

Had not considered that, but I'll put it on the TTD list, won't get around to it for quite a while, but some day...
