KKfry, do you have an idea which part of the cannon barrel it is? Does it show sighs of being distorted by an explosion?

I will be waiting to hear more details and see pictures.

Hi kkfry

Just a thought. If a cannon exploded around that spot, do you suppose there may be more pieces of it laying around? Might be worth a look, and get some more parts.

At worst I could hope it's NOT a piece of cast iron sewer pipe!

Can't wait to hear "The Rest of the Story"

Thanks
Leo
