As promised, Jack. Thought some other folks might like to see the photo also. Sorry it's on the weird angle...it was the only way I could get the whole boomy in and still get some of the detail from it. And of course....it was behind glass.

We saw this at the Royal Ontario Museum and the tag said that it was an English Heavy Musketoon, dated 1700-1720's-ish.

Very nice...
