Hi Daniel,
Well I'm sure the experts are correct but all the same it's a damn fine mounting and who's to say that the odd 'thundermug' did not get pressed into service as a mortar when the need arose. Regards CC |

Thank you all to bring light to this topic. I am really disappointed that it this is not a real mortar. It got sold to me in a while back and i think i am still a little bit to trusting when it comes to dealers, as this piece got sold to me a a legit mortar.
Thank you Daniel |

By all means, Daniel; don't feel disappointed ... at all.
This is no doubt a great and rare setup; you don't see thundermugs (that being the case) with such a large bore. There ought to be a story about it that we would love to learn. |

I like it too, Daniel, Nice display setup, the repro mounting is very well made. It should make an impressive noise if you wish to fire off a salute (Independence Day, Bonfire Night, whatever) or signal the start of a yachting regatta.
