Where can I buy 2 cap squares for Napoleon III Canon?

[Kolorado]

Hello everyone,  I need 2 cap squares to hold cannon in place for my CVA Napoleon Cannon, (18lb, .069 round ball, .75 caliber )
Mine got misplaced while moving and I've looked high and low on online for replacements but can't find any. 

Anyone know where I can find a pair?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I attached a photo of the type cannon for reference if that helps.  =)

Thanks

Maybe if you wrote to CVA they would send you replacements.

Thanks Artilleryman , tried that,  guess they don't deal with cannons any more, thanks though

CVA stopped making black powder scale cannons a few years ago. You still find them from time to time that havn't sold. You will have to make a set (or have someone make them) to replace them. A long shot would be to call Dixie Gun Works. They have sold so many of those in the past they may have a few parts for them. They are only a couple hours drive north of me and a friend and I usually make the trip once a year to visit their store, they have a ton of stuff there! Can you post the basic dimensions of your cap squares? Length, width, thickness, and trunnion diameter. Some of the vendors here may be able to help you............................................................

Thanks Lendi!  MODEL# MC0615  CVA Napoleon III 

Actually I took it to a machinist today to see if he can make them, however I would much rather have original parts if possible.   Turns out also missing a couple other small parts, amazing what happens when you move, lol.   Figures, can't ever be simple, ha.

Maybe just get a card with their phone# if that'd be easier for you?

Welcome aboard, Kolorado. I also have one of these models, and to be honest about it, the capsquares that came with them were nothing to write home about (they're just stamped steel that's bent on a mandrel). With a little research, you could have a machinist make a much more realistic pair; at least that's what I plan on doing one of these days.
