Here's the link to an English site that has a few interesting artillery pieces for sale.

That is an interesting site ! Neat cannons , carriage and background shots . Old school cut and fitted bricks and flagstone .

Lots of good ideas for carrages there too .

Interesting site! What is the exchange rate for the pound vs the dollar? Pretty pricey items!

One Pound Sterling converts to $1.63. I think that generally speaking Britain does have a higher cost of living than we do, but those prices seem like they'd be on pretty much of an even keel with what would be asked for at a high end U.S. store such as Vallejo Gallery, or the like.
