<p>[QUOTE="Metwerks, post: 2510996, member: 6675"]Looking for help to ID Age/Era? Manufacturer of this. If you look at the top of the barrel, it appears that it was milled flat and capped almost as if the machined details that couldn't be machined otherwise and then capped. On the top of the "stock area" there is an insert there as well. This is a beast and just can't see this much craftmanship put into lawn art - I owned a CNC machine shop and this thing is built. I am thinking a naval swivel gun/cannon that later was repurposed but would like others more knowledgable to offer their expertise - Thanks in advance [ATTACH=full]267913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267917[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
