Excellent replica.  Did you have an original to copy?

Nice! Is the barrel made of steel?

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.

Hi Boom J, the cannon is all steel... spray paint in black and brush painted in gold leaf paint..  Copdoc, I don't have the original copy... But got the idea from some old pictures in a South Bend replica's catalog...
