16th C. bronze falconet-photo
« on: October 27, 2009, 11:49:18 AM »
I don't know how I got on to this site, if I got it from this board I've forgotten about it, forgive the aging and dying brain cells here.  Anyway, neato piece, 5 feet long, 2 1/8 inch bore.  I want one.

If you get one, I have a stone cannonball for it  :) Measures 1.94" at the widest point. Complete with centuries old black powder stain.

That sure is a beautiful falconet, and if you click on "Portfolio" at the bottom of the page and scroll down, you'll come across a couple of "Pocket Pistols" that are anything but! Especially at 50+ inches each! BoomLover
