Commodore Swab Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Unfortunatly I missed PiP this past year (out of the country) and as work grows less and less I am selling off some items 1. Kentucky style flintlock 45 cal. good lock alignment (according to Cascabel who looked at it in 2007) but the frizzen needs hardening $200 2. 1/4 Pound Bronze cannon (1750's) 22 inch barrel resting on a English Carriage, can be had polished. The cannon is actually made from bronze recovered from a sunken German WWII minesweeper $1200 3. I am now also making 1:3.5 scale bronze mortars. Scaled down from a cannon recovered from the 1743 shipwreck of the Hollandia. The unusual scale was chosen so that they would be the correct size to fit a golf ball. You can find out more information at www.commodoreswabsports.com For those of you with questions the cannon was cast using one of Lawrence Campbells (also known as the Viceroy) master patterns with him at the foundry. The mortars are my own that I have been building with his help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Swab Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 If someone is interested in a trade, I could use some flintlock parts including the lock . . . What do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
