<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 9558039, member: 54&quot;]I’m pretty much aware of markings on Spanish bronze cannons, my family actually has a collection of them, I’ll get a link to the group photo.&nbsp; While I get that, I’m not aware of any other ex-votos made of cannons, but I’ve seen some references to cannonballs used as such, kept an excerpt if needed.&nbsp; I have pix etc. of another cannon of similar size with interesting engraving about victories if u want posted, owner says he dug it up in garden in Wyoming or somewhere, but I’m 90% sure it is&nbsp; another Philippine war trophy.&nbsp; This was an ARS appraisal for which I have link and screensave.&nbsp; Ppl frequently invent cannon stories “dug up in garden….dug up on the site of a battle of ….”&nbsp; Cannon I posted wasn’t a useful weapon, too small, but if it was in Philippines ca. 1900 the Insurrectos may have used it against U.S.&nbsp; Seville and Barcelona only cast cannons over about 130 lbs, the smaller ones (Esmeril) were cast in the Philippines and North America, closer to the frontiers or jungles where they were needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
