Signal Cannons. These Two Cannons Have Had a Long And Adventures Life No
Doubt And Are Now Ready to Compliment a New Owners Collection.
The

Form Muzzles With Plain Trunnions And Terminating in Knop-Shaped
Cascabels. Supported on Steeped Wooden Carriages of Naval Type And Solid
Wooden Trucks. The Touch Holes Appear to Have Been Blocked And at Some
Point in Time Unblocked. The Bore is 1.5 cm And There Are No Apparent
