<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 306190, member: 54"]This one’s likely made by same company that made the one for my Dutch cannon. A 3/8” thick cast bronze plate is mounted on a hardwood plug of a bit under bore diameter and about 3” long. A piece of spring steel 1/2” wide and 3” long is inletted into plug and parallel to its length. This holds tompion in the bore. These tompions are decorative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
