That is a Great looking little cannon and with the proof marks just makes it even more interesting.

Have you lit one off yet?????? I just couldn't wait to send some flames out the bore of the badboy. My neighbors would hate me. But oh well!!!!!!

Hi Phil,

I doubt if the bang would be as loud as that from a .38 blank! I can't honestly say how it was originally intended to be used. I still feel that it might have been just for testing the combustibility of powder.

Cheers,
Steve.
