Description Jehan 53 Inch Cannon 18th Century (over 250-years-old) Bronze Antique European Cannon with Ships Carriage! (please allow time for all the images to load) Item Location: Manila, Philippines PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ITEM IS AN ANTIQUE AND SHOULD NOT BE FIRED DUE TO ITS OLD AGE!! This rare and large 18th Century (over 250-years-old) Bronze Antique European Cannon is intricately carved and has an unidentified CROWN shape on the top of its first reinforcing area. A cannon of this size and quality is uncommon and quite difficult to find for sale in this day and age. There is only slight damage at the touch-hole area but this was probably due to a sea battle - it adds character to this item! Otherwise this item is in excellent condition. The Ships Cannon Carriage is based on 1750's Cannon Carriage Design - all the way down to the brass hardware. It is made of the hardest wood - Kamagong - which is exactly the same hardness and strength as Mahogany wood. It would be a GREAT DISPLAY, DECORATION and CONVERSATION piece for any; home, office, store, museum, etc! During its hayday this gun fired a 2 pound Iron Cannon Ball (or slighty lighter Stone Cannon Ball)! Below see the photos & details of this cannon. PRICED LOW FOR FAST SALE!!!! A cannon of this caliber with an expertly hand-made sea carriage could easily go for $35,000 but we're selling it MUCH CHEAPER here!
