<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 192409, member: 54&quot;]These friends helped pick up an iron 4-pounder ship&#039;s cannon ca. 1750. A friend and neighbor had a govt career which put him in a rural area of the Philippines for many years. He got this cannon there, but I don&#039;t yet have any more details. Gun is 49&quot; long, has 3.3&quot; bore, my weight estimate is about 600 lbs. Trunnions may have some faint marks we&#039;ll try to read. Owner was a superb woodworker and built the white oak carriage himself after getting plans from a friend who worked for the Navy.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/img_4317.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
