the viceroy Posted August 13, 2009 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
D.man Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 to bad i'am not rich or i would have bought that cannon
Commodore Swab Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 For those of you interested here is a picture of a cannon out of the same mold on a carriage made by the Viceroy with the cap squares and dolphins.

Iron Bess Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 (Feels her inner Pirate shudder...) Why do the Pirate hunters get all the GOOD toys? Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Skunkmeat Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I just found your post about the bronze skull and crossbones cannon. Is it still for sale?

Captain Jim Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Oh, great! Now the pyrate hunter who's blind in one eye and can't see out of the other has a cannon. Soon he will also be deaf. No one will be safe. OK, so I'm jealous. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Capt. Sterling Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Just makes me wonder how a pair of great guns down at PiP, will make ye feel ??

Rose Underhill Posted August 18, 2009 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. Edited August 18, 2009 by Rose Underhill
theM.A.dDogge Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 obviously,dear Madame,....you have, again,not read the post entitely and spoken of issues you have no knowledge of, perhaps you need the service of a Gentleman who could help you out with the words you do not understand....for I clearly stated....that the dear sweet boy...would be of great service....HOLDING the target....and not be the target himself...to which he was in the past....to give him a sporting chance as it were...like when we hunt rabbits...for your fur cuffs.....before we shoot them...we yell....."pull".....
Rose Underhill Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 obviously,dear Madame,....you have, again,not read the post entitely and spoken of issues you have no knowledge of, perhaps you need the service of a Gentleman who could help you out with the words you do not understand....for I clearly stated....that the dear sweet boy...would be of great service....HOLDING the target....and not be the target himself...to which he was in the past....to give him a sporting chance as it were...like when we hunt rabbits...for your fur cuffs.....before we shoot them...we yell....."pull"..... Obviouly, Mr d'Dogge.....you have been nipping at the madiera again, for I understood your intent perectly. I can see from your statement above, that should I be in need of a gentleman's assistance, it will not be you I call apon. "entitely"??? and what prey tell language is that?
Iron Bess Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Still... all in all 'tis a fine cannon. Sad to say m’ home port is too far away to see it (or any of you) in person but I expect some FINE PHOTOS of its inaugural use! Humor me! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Rumba Rue Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I would so love to mount that Howitzer on my car.....
Commodore Swab Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Perhaps this gives a better representation of the scale of the howitzer . . .
