<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 9559042, member: 54&quot;]Very good, I hadn’t used that 2nd name in searches, maybe I’ll try again.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>kinda shifting thoughts now, I’ve been wondering the whole time how that cannon, broken in half, got to the place the metal detector folks say they found it.&nbsp; It isn’t a weapon that would have been in use with troops, all the engraving tells that, plus the very small caliber and the remaining dolphin handle on top.&nbsp; You just don’t find dolphins on such very light guns..&nbsp; As I indicated in my yellow highlighting, most of the verbiage about the one or two cannons being in active service in 17xx is fantasy.&nbsp; Neither has proper military markings, nor is of a cannon pattern recognized as having been fielded by any combatant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
