Love to see it Rene.
These old pieces are in most Australian towns.We loved dragging these things half way round the world to sit in our parks and in front of the local RSL club.
God bless um for thinking of us way back then.
Cheers mate

50km South in Launceston there's a couple of 25 pounders but their not as smick as this one.There's two 5.5 inch mediums there and an old Crimean war era Russian made muzzle loader.
I'll grab some shots next time i'm down there.
All the best mate
