the viceroy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 My luck is shared upon you. I have recently found a new larger cannon and have to part with one of my current pieces to cover the difference in price. Since this has come up unexpectedly I must try to come up with the money as soon as possible or I will lose my chance. This cannon is a 3 foot bronze gun (1.5 inch bore) with all the correct rings setting it perfectly in the golden age of piracy. On top of the barrel there is a raised skull and cross bones, this could be removed if desired. Extra time and effort has gone into creating a beautiful patina on the barrel making this look authentic. Not much effort would be required to bring this gun to a polish. For those of you who are not familiar with me, I work closely with the forts and parks throughout Florida including most of the artillery for Pirates in Paradise. This particular gun was cast vertically and bored out using virgin silicon bronze. If you can contact and pay me within the next 24 hours the price is $1800 (this particular cannon with no carriage sells for $3500) or I can include a simple field carriage for $2300. This is the price for the gun as it sits now, if you desire it changed in any way the best thing is to call and talk (polishing, skull removed, dolphins added, crest cut in, etc), most likely we can work something out. I also have a large Howitzer for sale with carriage and the price is $5000 The Viceroy (305) 304-8528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Underhill Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Perhaps you should be "looking out" of your good eye. For shame, John. What has that dear sweet boy done to deserve your disregard? The only problem with Cousin Robbie, is his incessant need to please his jack ass cousin. And you, Mr. d'Dogge..........................that you would even suggest putting Robbie in harms way, is quite beneath a man of your stature. I will expect better of you in the future.
