Original Spanish 18th Century Bronze Naval Swivel Cannon on Rail Mount Francotte-Martini Rifles & Parts On 21-Jan-1913Original Item: One of a kind. This is truly romantic! It is not very large but packs a dreadful punch with a 1 1 2" bore and a barrel measuring just 18 3 4" in length, it stands just 15" tall when barrel is horizontal and 18" tall with barrel fully elevated. At only 18 lbs in weight, this is ideal for an office desk. This fine, bronze swivel gun (cannon) is unmarked, but it is mid 18th century in form and almost certainly of Spanish Colonial origin,
