Ummm, would you believe my Mother... It's true. She was born in Gettysburg, PA - that might have something to do with it. She gave me the small ship's cannon, and one of the Napoleon fieldpieces. I located the second on at an area G u n shop. The one on the right is a repro of an L Francis Herreshoff 10Ga saluting cannon. The first three use loose black powder, the last a 10 GA blank. There's a few more, but they're the cream of the crop. As you might guess there's more than a few funny stories...
