James --
funny you should mention that - THEY did a drive by last night so see what all the fuss was about as several neighbors had gathered on the front lawn to view the cannon . They said : " Is that thing real , will it fire ?" -- they were there for over an hour , which attracted even more people ! -- We might even get an order from one of them ! , there's a little pirate in everyone ! - lol

HOLD FAST !

You should have said "Yes it is Officer; Do you want to see what a 9# cannon ball will do to a Police car?"

And, they would have said "No sir, but what I do want you to do is place your hands behind your back, I have some "bracelets" for you to try on!

Gary:

Nice looking cannon.

How do you plan to advertise for them? It may sound odd; But I would suggest you see what an ad in the NRA's magazine would be. They like "all things guns".

However you plan to advertise and sell them, Good luck in your enterprise.

They look amazing, the proportions just looks so right.
I reckon a good webpage would go a far way in advertising those beauties,
always some 'strange' people out there looking for guns and cannons.
lol.
im sure you will make a ton of money

Hello to all --

I have received several emails regarding the wheels on the cannon in the posted pics - we use the smaller rubber wheels on the carriages in the shop so we can move them around - production models will have solid wooden wheels .
