<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 304662, member: 54"]A New Jersey militaria dealer bought all the old Nepalese Artillery about 8 years ago and has been selling off those hundreds of items since then. I inspected the first 130 items to come over and this is typical of those. The workmanship is poorer than similar European bronze cannons- note for example the saw and file marks on the trunnions-never seen on European items. The Nepal pieces are usually unmarked like this one. No doubt really, but you have to be familiar with that NJ collection to be as certain as I am.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
