Help Please !!

 I've traded for a cannon , I need anyone to help and tell me what I have ! On the barrel is Jukar Spain .70 cal. Black Power Only . The barrel is 15 inches from end to end , the wheels are 12 inches tall ,it has adjustment at the back of the barrel to go up and down . Can someone tell me what I have , about how old it is and what it might be worth I may have too much in it !!

Modern - the stamp 'blackpowder only' tells you that it is (in my WAG opinion based on memory of what I've seen not hard fact) that it could be no older than 1960's.

Pictures would really help - likely that someone would recognize a similar one.

more than likley you have a cannon marketed under the CVA brand name between the 70's and last year. The last few years were sold under the "Traditions" brand name. I believe they have finally stopped selling cannons. The collectors value seems to be high on them, they are worth at least as much now as when they were sold new in kit form... maybe more. A picture would help, but it may be worth in the 150-200 range, maybe a little more. I am assuming it is a field cannon style?

They show up on ebay now and then, so if you want to get an accurate idea as to what t is worth, keep your eyes on that.

I did a little more digging. Might it look like this?


If so, it is worth a few more buck than my first guess. Here is a link to Dixie gun works

I do not have a way to post pic's ...

If you can take digital pix, there are ways to post them.  If you have a scanner, you can scan film prints and post the scanned images.
