Pawn a Cannon??
« on: July 19, 2009, 01:37:20 PM »
 Pawn a Cannon ?  ???   Well, it is Vegas after all..... Anyway, for those who get the History Channel there is a show on tonight called "Pawn Stars" and someone is supposed to pawn a Hotchkiss.  :'(

 Since, I do not have cable I'll have to miss this one..... Let me know how it turns out.

Do you have $40,000?   Hard to believe that they hit with the first shot.

There are several cannon in this auction, including two strap guns, a 3" ord. rifle mounted on a Hotchkiss revolving cannon carriage........
another one mounted on a large Gatling carriage. What I find interesting is that no one at the auction house was able to discribe these accuratly.....  ::)
I do know one thing if they see the prices they are estimating I may auction off my antique gun parts and be done with them.
