[QUOTE=Cerjak]Dear Fernando.
the cannon has a very deep patina and it is difficult to be certain if it's iron or bronze. You can try with a magnet |

I would think originally it had a flintlock mechanism. The wood appears to be later without a way to mount a mechanism.

Hi Cerjak
In my modest opinion, and if you want to continue the research, it could be determined through a study, if the barrel has been formed by forging, or by function, that is, if it is wrought iron or cast iron. I think it's with X-rays Affectionately |
