I know this is the Blackpowder forum and I'm not really looking for a Blackpowder cannon but I thought I would ask here anyway because you guys know cannons. What I am looking for is a cannon to put on my front lawn as an ornament. I'd like it to look like an old naval cannon but an 1841 6 pounder would be an acceptable substitute. It doesn't have to be capable of firing anything. I would like it to be heavy so it wouldn't be likely to be stolen. I don't care about historical accuracy as long as it looks right. I don't care what is made of - steel, iron, wood, concrete, plastic, fiberglass -whatever as long as it is heavy and sturdy. I'd like it to be somewhere between 4' to 8' long with something around 6' being ideal. I have checked every link on this forum and I have found a few dealers/manufacturers that have something close but the barrels were either too short, too light or too expensive. Since this is only going to be a lawn ornanment I don't want to spend over $500. Is there anybody out there that makes something like what I am looking for?
