A lot of full moon folks here. I am one as well. Wonder if being born under the full moon leads to an affinity with piracy?

Thanks for that. Taking a look see here it appears: Bore Hole: - Diameter 1.5 CM or 5/8" - Length 20.5 CM or 8" Breech: - Diameter 5.5 CM or 2 2/8 " Looking at the trunnions, there appears to be a seam to my very novice, untrained eye so I would guess it was machined. Again however I am not sure what to look for exactly...

Now you’ve truly got me all at sea so to speak. “What is the bore size ?” - Well what is the bore and how would I measure it? “What is the breach size ?” - What is the breach and how would I measure it? “Is it a casting ?” - How would I tell? “Is it machined from billet (Solid Round Bar) ?” - Again, how would I tell? You’re speaking to a total novice here, albeit a novice eager to learn…

Thank ye much Callenish and Cascabel! Where might I order the appropriate supplies to fire this beastie safely?

Just finnished with my own colors...

My father passed away recently and part of my inheritance was this signal cannon. At least I think it’s a signal cannon. I had to clean it out a bit but it seems ready to go now. Having never fired a little beastie like this I wanted to know what I am dealing with and if I should even bother. Any help perhaps please?
